Relocating FPR

Ok, need some help here.
Going to install an AEM FPR but need to relocate it due to clearance issues.

This is what I want to make inorder to do the task but I can't seem to find the aluminum block pictured.

Where can I find it (already looked @ home depot)?

And this is what it'll look like in the end.

that looks like it was custom fabbed. just a block with threaded holes drilled into it.

i'm sure Leitner can make that for you in a matter of minutes.

one aluminum block
4 small threaded holes drilled on the ends for the fasteners.
2 large threaded holes drilled for the fuel passage. one drilled from the bottom of the block to the center, another drilled from the side to the center so that they meet and form a perfect upside down "L" shape.

Yah it was a custom job (well the guy made it himself). Never thought of asking Leitner

But it's the "satisfaction" of making something myself

I'll give Steve a holler maybe tomorrow.

i thought you were looking for the block with all the holes already in it.

anyways, why not just make a little bracket for the B&M you already have, mount it on the firewall and run a line to it from the fuel rail? what psi do you plan on running at?

on second that, that idea i just posted would be better suited to a universal-type AFPR. the stock-style AFPR's like the B&M would need some sort of adaptar to run a fuel line to it. oh well.

No, just looking for a blank block. I'll do the drilling and what not.

I want to lower my FP to around the 30's (lower than stock maybe) since I'll be running larger injectors and a piggy back to control them.

I want to do this mod only for the AEM. Why would I do it for the B&M when it's fine where it is

you told me the B&M's position makes it difficult to adjust the fuel pressure. if it's fine where it is why are you even bothering with a new FPR? how many do you need? you only need one.
