Yeah i'm going to do that. I am taking the intake off to get a Ceramic clear coating. So when i get that back i will do that.

None of my business but I would suggest using a Y and distribute fuel equally to both rails.
If your pump is not up to the task the last couple cylinders might get thirsty.

That would only change the location of which cylinders are thirsty, as you say. If the pump isn't up to the task, the pump would need to be changed.

I have a Boyd Welding tank with a In-Tank Aeromotive Stealth 340 Pump. I will double check to see if it good enough.

Re: Roushinator's 72 C10 Stepside Restore/Build

Awesome build!

That pump should be plenty for that setup.

As you said no need to change the fuel line routing. Mine deadheads same way and is a TT LSx427 making 1000+ (I have bigger pump obviously).

Re: Roushinator's 72 C10 Stepside Restore/Build

Trying to get a little work done on either my truck, car or garage organization. Here is wht i did today...





Here are the custom badges. Dont know if this will be the final location. Going to wait until the fenders are on the truck before deciding.

Re: Roushinator's 72 C10 Stepside Restore/Build

Maybe this has been answered, but I'll ask again cause i didn't see it. What radiator and fans are you running? Looking for something for a similar build in my C10 (LY6/6L90e planned). Want to be sure it'll stay cool towing!

Excellent thanks. I've been looking at cheap (champion) and more expensive C&R. Just trying to figure out my costs for swapping.

Better than new! It will be nice to not have to tweak anything but adjusting your doors and fenders going back on.

Re: Roushinator's 72 C10 Stepside Restore/Build

I didn't weld my latches in. Was there any adjustments you had to make for them to work? They look really good welded in. Why did I have to see this the day after I put primer on my doors
