Very nice, I need to do that as well, or figure out something other than the dual stock banjos I am using now. I wonder if I can use AN6 or a modified AN8 on the feed that is not on the engine side with the stock threads. The side that faces the engine I would have to do a 90 degree fitting or something. Do you know offhand the thread pitch and size for the stock banjos?
I tried to ask Matti, but he does not seem interested in answering any questions :/ even what fuel pressure he suggests, etc.
That transmission looks massive within the chassis
I think I can help some with what you are trying to do, assuming I'm understanding what you are after. If you are trying to get away from the banjo style there are a couple of ways to go about it. Summit Racing I know carries metric straight thread to AN fittings so all you would need is the thread size of the banjo to replace it. On the engine side you can do a couple of things depending on how much room you have there. The easiest would be a 90 degree metric straight thread to AN that uses a separate nut on the straight thread section for sealing. You would use either a metal and rubber or copper sealing washer under the nut. This allows you to have the 90 fitting pointing where you need it. Another option is a banjo to AN fitting. They are made by Unisteer in some sizes, but I ran across at least one other outfit that had them in my searching but I cannot remember the name of said company.
Any good hydraulic shop should be able to help you out, but once you identify the correct thread size it's pretty easy.
