i was wondering for fuel lines did you guys just run new lines or just put new fitting to make the work with the swap. I have some russell fitting that i bought, but now i'm on the fence of just running all new lines. Any help would be great and thanks for your help and info
I used the stock 3/8 supply line, replacing the rubber parts with FI hose. When you get to the front of the car, I used FI hose to a Dorman 800-153 ( it has a 16MM Saginaw fitting on the end, which mated up with my TPI fuel rail-LT1 may be different. For the return, i used Dorman 800-151 with a 14MM saginaw fitting to mate up to the Fuel rail, and ran to the Vent line on my passenger side ( 5/16 steel) using 5/16 FI hose. I use FI hose at the rear of the car to mate up with the return line on the sender ( Not the Vent Line that this used to connect to. Don't use the vent for the return- it has a restriction in it. For the vent line, I ran 5/16 fuel hose from the charcoal canister back to the tank. On all the 3/8 connections, I used two FI fuel clamps. For the Filter, I used Fram G3870. It has two 3/8 barb fittings.
Hope this helps.
