barrel-style FPR and fuel dampeners.
I need a barrel design for the new location/route of the fuel hoses and stuff.

I will eventually be switching to an aem in-line but for now im taking the cheap route to get me through the season of small paychecks.

Also with the smaller fuel filters that you can pick up from auto-zone or the likes, work on our Z's without losing piece of mind?

And lastly are the TT wrist-pins an exchangeable item for the NA wristpins?

Later (With the mods permission I will be changing this to my "universal NA enginebay cleanup thread.)

1) Summit or Jegs

2) No, they're garbage. Don't believe me? Search and see

3) AFAIK, no, but I'm not 100% on that

4) You can just start a new thread :yesnod

would this be what I'm looking for? or better put: would this be a accepted replacement for the stock Z fpr?

and NO TT wrist pins are much thicker and stronger than NA ones.

No you just assumed I wasn't gonna replace it with an aftermarket unit. Remember, I'm doing a reroute....other than rockchuckers....

You said deleting, which is different than replacing. I read that as deleting/eliminating/86ing. So did Anton.

Rockchuckers reroute is stupid, the hardline delete is stupid. Rerouting with AN fitting filters, regulators and dampeners is fine, but they're far from cheap.

IMHO, just replace what you need to now with OEM until you can afford a proper AN set up, if that's your desire. The OEM fuel filter is only $17, and only needs to be replaced every 60K. What's the motivation behind the change? Just curious.

Yeah I should have spelled that out better. Im 86'ing the stock route of the fuel lines. The OEM is great, and mine is new. But the smaller ones allow for more space in general. The motivation is because I want more space and cleaner engine bay. Simplicity of working on things...when i have to. I have giant hands so getting to stuff is a pain. Ive done a few extra deletes as of now. but just want to do more to see what Im capable of doing for the VG. Im doing a copper LIM gasket as we speak, and am looking into a copper head gasket as well. ive removed a lot of the hardlines around the block and re-routed them as well. Im doing the pcv delete right now, and am working on deleting the egr.
