Stainless steel braided lines

I'm planning on replacing all my ruber lines with s/s lines. I'm wondering if anyone has done this before and how much (Ft. wise) did they use and what size. Money is not an issue so I'm not worry. This would be my "winter" project. I be pulling the motor out so I want to take as mush advantage as possible. I be uprading my whole fuel set up too. Adding and upgrading my oil cooler.

Perhaps it would be easiest to purchase one of the SS brake line kits out there, goodrich for example makes a ss line brake kit, and have heard good things about them. They usually run around around $100.

I think he's talking about inside the engine compartment.
Anyway, there are SS fuel lines. Other than that you can get SS braid jackes in various sizes for the coolant hoses etc.

Well the fuel lines that are out there doesn't replace the hard lines I want to replace those too. For coolant I'm going to use Samco hoses. I don't want it for bling more for just because they are 11 yrs old.

Those stainless braided jackets are crap. They might look good for a while, but they are a pain to work with and start to show their age quickly. If you want braided lines, get the real thing. I know they are pricey, but worth it in my opinion.
