Boyds tank with areomotive340 no return on my 5.3

I have a new boyds tank with areomotive 340 fuel pump but my 05 5.3 has no return on the fuel rail . Where can I add a return port or what's my best option for this problem?

You need an aftermarket regulator or C5 FFR to return back to the tank. I'd weld a NPT bung into the tank with a fitting for a -6 SS return line.
I'd put it near the tank. So single line to the front.

05 had a return on the fuel rail. Or has your fuel rail been changed to a returnless style?

My 5.3 is 2008 Gen IV so it's a returnless system. As suggested above I used a Corvette filter regulator #LS9904. You mount it near the tank and it has an in port, an out port and a return port for your return line back to the tank. The Corvette filter regulator is used by many. It was recommended to me to use an oem one as many aftermarket can be unreliable.
