Re: 5.3 swap build so far
Did you get the fuel system run yet? How did it come out?

I don't know why I was so worried about it...wasn't too bad to do once I did it

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
If you're just going to clamp a hose on the filter, I would shove the hose over the flared part and then put a clamp on it, it will be a little tough to do, but it would be a more solid connection. Also, what's the blue thing on the output side of the filter? Looks like a quick disconnect tool?

on to the next objective...that blue thing is a quick connect, i got it in a fuel line kit i bought a company a member suggested on here...pretty easy setup, i did have to go get a couple things since i went mostly quick connect...the only thing i didn't like about the kit was that it didn't come with two male connectors, that would have been good for a couple things on here...with the spot where i have the hose clamp I'm going to put another quick connect on there...i wasn't rushing but want to see how it would fit up there and how it would be around the exhaust, i do have the nylon hose covered with hose to help protect if from the heat...im also kinda paranoid about the lines so I'm going to wrap the exhaust back some so i don't have to worry about it

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
Thats looking great! I am hoping to have mine done soon also. I like the hose wraping of the line.
