Default Fuel Filter - low restriction

Hi guys,

Looking to upgrade 454s soon to blowers, larger fuel lines and pickups but also replacing fuel filters - any recommendations? Would like to get the larger/longer ones as I do get some moisture in fuel tanks (humid Florida and old marine gas stations) and could use the extra protection.

What are you running on smaller blower motors?

Thanks

We always ran just the cheap permacool mounts from jegs. I want to say 1/2” and they were 35 bucks or so.
