Anybody know if I would be able to convert the hard lines from the filter to the heads with possibly a ss braided hose?

 

put a regulated return in it and you can.

 

What about any aftermarket, either hard line or braided? You know what ford wants for them!!!

 

Put a regulated return on it

Let me clarify, I have sprung many leaks and brazed those lines back together many times and now there at a point of replacement. Ford wants an arm and a leg for the new ones and since the dealer told me that I cant even get the grommet seals without buying the lines (and yes I know I can make my own out of some 1/4 inch fuel line) I just wanted to know if anybody sells a kit to replace them with. In regards to the response I got, what exactly is a regulator going to do since theres not one on those lines in the first place?

 

They make a kit to do it. Strictly or irates kit is who I would run

 

To clarify, a regulated return completely changes the whole way fuel is delivered to the heads and how it returns to the tank. Therefor you can get whatever kind of lines you want and wont have to worry about mating it up to a ford part.
