Yeah anything is possible with the RIGHT equipment (0.93 is the largest) The line sizeto the connector tubes needs to be bigger first, A:. B serious Air, Fuel, and Valve duration is needed for support thereafter. Even then the motor should be built to support what fuel you are intending to put into it is done right to support that.

It's much cheaper and easier just to buy a set. Economically priced with less leaks

If the holes you drill out aren't exactly the same your going to have issues.

Moreso, You cant ever drill them straight which leeds to big problems at the junction between the fuel line and the connector tube.....

I agreed...

The only thing oversized lines tend to do on a mild bomb truck is make it lopey at idle. The larger the lines the more lopey it gets..
