Rob I agree with everything said so far. My worked L20B in a 510, with twin 45's has 2 shitty old low pressure fuel pumps in the boot and I run 3/8" Bundy thru the cabin up the passengers side of the transmission tunnel, then up the firewall and across to the far left so that it exits into the engine bay below the shelf just below the wiper motor. The steel pipe finishes here and i've got a small length of rubber hose then a right angle fuel filter tucked under the strut gusset then a short rubber hose runs back to a fuel regulator (set at 2.5) which just rests on that shelf under the wiper motor. From the regulator to the rearmost Weber is just another short piece of rubber fuel hose. Man I wish I had a digital camera!!!!! If u want more info just email me offlist. It looks neater than it sounds. You do need min 3/8" Bundy. You do need a fuel regulator for webers. Thats why Errol is so right about using the bluey pump. But I didn't know a bluey pump could handle that much HP. hmmm Fuel regs are about $100. I've thrown out bluey pumps! Doh!!
