When you have a nice-looking engine, people always start inspecting the details. This can be a critical thing when building a show car, as the final touches will be what make or break you come trophy time.

This Holley-built engine was ready to be dressed up with a few accessories, including a custom-made fuel line and serpentine system. | 
We used a March Pulley setup for the belt and Power Master accessories to power up the motor. |

We hard-lined the fuel lines to keep the fuel line from vapor locking because of intense heat. | 
A 90-degree bend is how we started off the 31/48-inch fuel line. |

Always leave your tube a little longer than needed. This will give you room to play with when lining up your hard-lines. | 
Here's a look at the hard-lines as they're joined together and ready for the next bend. |
Fortunately, you can have a visually appealing engine with just a few hours of time invested. It's always easier to work on an engine on a stand, so we decided to show you what we're talking about with this engine. This Ford 302 needed a reliable pulley system and a fuel line system that could later be chrome plated, but more importantly, keep the engine running efficiently and reliably.

This is how the line should connect to the fittings. | 
Another 90-degree bend was done to the fuel line. |

A series of bends were necessary to hug the motor as much as possible. | 
Some people start adding their serpentine kits at the water pump, but most of the manufacturers suggest starting off of the harmonic balancer as that should be your foundation. |

This classic Ford engine three-bolt harmonic balancer was going to be updated with a four-bolt pulley conversion. | 
This precision-machined alignment spacer was slipped on to the harmonic balancer which will align the conversion spacer. |
