Since I have everything disassembled under the hood now I was wanting to make a new junction block for the return lines on the driver side rear of the engine. Basically the OEM one works but the orientation of the barbs makes for an awkward connection going from #7 to #8 because I route the line away from the turbo and in front of the intake screen. So, any ideas on DIY junction block? When I have time I'm going to check out what the local hose shop offers for fittings but I thought someone might've already been down this road.
DIY return line junction block ideas?

If I recall this correctly, your objective is simply to get the return fuel from one side of the engine to the other, and back to the tank. The return line to the tank is easiest from the rear of the engine, near #8 cylinder. The crossover line from the passenger side, cylinders 1,3,5,7, can be anywhere. It does not need to be at the rear of the engine.

I went with the routing that creates a full loop and avoids using a deadhead cap. I blocked off the port with the check valve on the filter header and have #1 connecting to #2 and then #7 connects to the return block--the IP return is teed into the line from #1 to #2. With my routing I had to run the line from #7 under the intake manifold in order to attach to the return block which is okay and it works but I think I can do better.
Port for each side and the pump.

If yours is gone tomorrow morning along about sunup.......Well.......
Having me one off one would be cheaper than the fuel to get here. Get enough takers for a small production run of 5 or more and I might be convinced to make a similar version.
Two for me, if you get enough others to chime in their interest.
