Look at the amount of space in there- you'd have to get a very tight 90
degree bend. Not impossible, but i'd need to get a nice tubing bender
(which isn't a bad idea, really). I thought it would also be a good idea
to replace the line that crosses over the engine from one set of
injectors to the other with a steel line. This one isn't as critical but
it does seem to rub on a lot of parts.

It's a total of 4 fittings. But thats 4 places where something can fail,
eh?  I might scrap this idea.
