Fuel System?
Hey all,
I'm neck deep (by which I mean I have the new motor on the stand, the old crate 350/TH350 out, the Burb on stands and no money left in my account) in swapping a LM7/4l60e into my 68 Suburban. I'm looking for budget-friendly but still reliable (as in I'm happy to use new parts, but not looking for the top-line options) fuel system. The engine/trans came out of an 04 Tahoe if that matters. So, swapped brethren, what did you use for fuel supply on your swaps?

Re: Fuel System?
I really like these, in your case specifically the PA4: https://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/p...prod/prd84.htm
A cheaper option would be an inline walbro 255lph pump. You could use either with an oem C5 corvette filter/pressure regulator assembly

Re: Fuel System?
Thanks for the reply! I was looking at those already and they were for sure on my list. This is the first time I will have done this, do I need to worry about the depth of the hanger or is that generally not a concern?

Re: Fuel System?
I believe depth can be set by cutting to your needs.

Re: Fuel System?
Maybe give Carl a call at Vaporworx https://www.vaporworx.com super nice guy. His systems use reliable OEM fuel pumps availble at your local parts store. Eliminating the old return style system that runs an aftermarket pump full bore all the time. Less fuel line to run, more reliable and cost ends up about the same in the end. I am using stuff from him myself.
