4.0L Swap - Fuel line Compatibility

[belovedb2]

I am getting down to some of the last minute detail on my engine swap. I need some guidance on the fuel line connection. The 93 Exp engine has two barided fuel lines both with a female SLC (spring lock coupling). One is a 1/2 inch and one with a 3/8 inch. The B2 engine has a male SLC and a female SLC. Both are 3/8 inch. What have been the past method for making this change in the fuel connection? Any suggestions?

Pull the fuel line from the donor vehicle.

When I did the 4.0 swap in my Ranger, I used the fuel lines from a 1990 BII from the fuel filter forward. Explorer will also work.

Plugged right in.

in other engine swaps i have performed (non rbv) i have cleanly cut the steel fuel lines with the slc fittings, cleanly cut the steel fuel rail line, and had them tig-welded together at the local muffler shop for $10. not saying this would work for a 4.0 swap having never done a 4.0 swap but it is my $.02

On the doner vehicle I had to cut the line on the body side. The SLC was so rusted that I needed to cut it and peel off the SLC cage.

1/2"? maybe 5/16" and 3/8"

i also was wondering about this, i did something for a temp use, but i was hoping to find and adapter of some sort. or just goto the junkyard and pull fuel lines..

Time to go to the junkyard, or find someone on here who has an extra line. I'll have some in a couple of weeks, I'm getting a new parts truck.

Good luck

The lines from the Explorer back to the fuel filter *should* work.

I used the lines from the Fuel Filter forward from the donor on my 4.0 swap.
