The reason for the small line is to make sure there is a constant motion of fuel so that the motor dosen't vapor lock. Especially, if your setup has A/C. If it was me, I'd get some 1/4" copper tubing and run it along the frame from the fuel tank to the motor. Incidently, I installed a 455 in a 81 Cutlass and thats alot of motor that generates heat...yes, I hooked up my fuel return line and all is well in my world. Good luck
