Opinion time!

Where to mount the regulator and fuel filter.

I've tossed a couple options together, but I welcome other ideas as well.

1) with the fuel filter in the now blank area where the heater was. Pro: both Regulator and filter away from heat sources, easily accessible. Con: highly visibility

2) Regulator behind the engine on the firewall, filter down on the frame rail a ways back. Pro: Regulator nice and close to the fuel rails. Partly hidden once air cleaner is on. Con: puts the filter farther away and closer to exhaust heat.

Note, I will have a fuel pressure transducer on the regular, not a gauge, so no reason to keep the regulator visible.
