Default Fuel line size

Hey guys,
Im new here. I am doing a 2nd gen 12v conversion on my 1973 Ford Crew Cab Longbed 4x4. It is almost all done, just need to run a few lines. For the fuel lines my stock feed line is a little less than 3/8". Will this be to small and cause a restriction in power?

Thanks!!

-Jon

Ill fill out my sig and everything tonight when i time

Inlet. I don't think it would be possible to have a 3/8" OD fuel line, at least for it to handle any amount of pressure.
