Is a Walbro pump better and cheaper than a stock 2002 Camaro in tank pump for a 5.7?

Re: Help with fuel system design for LS1 install
 

It's certainly better, and pretty cheap too...

ok I've read this whole thing...waaaayyy confused....im dropping in a 04 5.3 into a k10, already got the sending unit and the fuel pump, and just ordered the corvette filter...do i need a regulator?

Re: Help with fuel system design for LS1 install
 

Dman

That corvette filter is a dual purpose filter. It filters and regulates the fuel. No need for a separate regulator.

Awesome!!!! Thanks buddy...I'm not really getting discouraged but I got a good deal on my motor and tranny...but when I pulled off my diff cover and was missing a bunch of teeth on my spider gears lets just say that put my over my budget some...so I can go ahead and get rid of all these old fuel lines?

Re: Help with fuel system design for LS1 install
 

this was one of my biggest worries about doing this swap...is there any way to hook up the fuel system without flaring tools or soldering? just easy connectors and what not?

Re: Help with fuel system design for LS1 install
 

holy cow i havnt felt like such a dummy in a long time!!!! maybe i should have saved some face and stayed old school lol

Re: Help with fuel system design for LS1 install
 

since I'm switching out this whole fuel system anyways should i take out the old lines? is there any way to hook up the fuel system without flaring tools or soldering? just easy connectors and what not? bueler? kinda hurting here

Re: Help with fuel system design for LS1 install
 

Dman i used compression fittings to an hoses

Re: Help with fuel system design for LS1 install
 

this may be a rather dumb question...but what do you mean by compression fittings?

the reason i ask I'm new to this swap and this fuel system...and I've dealt with a bunch of different fittings

Re: Help with fuel system design for LS1 install
 

so this is what i need for a return less system right? and what are the qty i need for each? and the braided fuel line size? 3/8?

Re: Help with fuel system design for LS1 install
 

you can use your old lines from the tank to the regulator/filter and connect it with fuel injection hose, dual clamp it to be sure.. I then ran a -6an line form reg. to fuel rail...all the proper fittings are available, do a search...there are tons of threads on this.

Re: Help with fuel system design for LS1 install
 

i seen a bunch, it just get confusing trying to go through the return less and return systems, kinda a dumb question but another thing that confuses me is i have three lines coming off my sender, then only two go into filter one leaves the filter to goto the fuel rail, what is done with the third line on the sender?

Re: Help with fuel system design for LS1 install
 

biggest line is supply, then return and other is vent...some have 4, with the fourth one being for charcoal canister crap...just take your time, do some research it's all pretty simple, just overwhelming at first...

Re: Help with fuel system design for LS1 install
 

very overwhelming is more like it!!!!

Re: Help with fuel system design for LS1 install
 

Can I use a 2000 silverado fuel pump in a 90 blazer tank, what kinds of modification is needed if so?

Re: Help with fuel system design for LS1 install
 

if ive got a 99 lm7 5.3 motor which has a feed and return built into the motor do i have to run the return all the way from my fuel rail back to the tank(leaving 1 port open on the regulator) or can i run in back to the regulator(3 ports used) and just have the feed come from the tank????

read this whole thing and have not found and answer yet.

Re: Help with fuel system design for LS1 install
 

By "regulator" I assume you mean Corvette filter/regulator? If so, don't use that. You don't need a $50 filter with a return style rail. Run the feed from your pump, through a regular fuel injection rated filter to the rail, and then the return to the tank, simple as that, and a lot less costly.

Re: Help with fuel system design for LS1 install
 

^ What he said.
The C5 filter / regulator is NOT the part you want when using the return-line style engines. That is for the second run of LS stuff with the "returnless" fuel rails.

I used an LS1 Camaro fuel filter with my return-line type LS swap. Annoying to plumb without resorting to AN fittings but it can be done cheap and, I'm sure, with AN it's easy.

Re: Help with fuel system design for LS1 install
 

ok perfect thanks guys i just wanted to make sure i was going about the fuel system thr right way. i guess ill run external fuel pump also. you guys running to the pump off a switch or ignition? im planning to have to rewire the entire burban when i get it anyways.

Re: Help with fuel system design for LS1 install
 

If I ever get back to my project (on hold for four years now) I'll be running it off the ignition, but wiring in a convenient but hidden switch is a cheap theft deterrent.

What tank/fuel set up do people use for a 64 C10?

Re: Help with fuel system design for LS1 install
 

im swapping a 03 5.3 with return style lines in my 64 is anyone using a inline pump and the factory in the cab tank? If so how did you run the return line into the tank
thanks
