Default Fuel line big enough?

My car is an original 6cyl car if that makes a difference and I'm wondering if the line from the tank is big enough to support a 725hp motor?

the 396/375 came with a 3/8" line
my engine builder said I need at least a 3/8" line for my 532 horse small block.
so to answer your question ........ no

So i guess the next question is how hard is it to replace the stock line with a bigger one. I havent looked up under there before. Do you have to drop the tank?

What size line do you plan to run from the tank up to the motor?


I'm going to be builder a 600+ motor and I have a #10 line coming from my cell to the fuel pump and then was told to run 1/2" up to the regulator and 3/8" line to each fuel bowl.
