This is a good idea if you can make them work in your truck.

I used rubber efi fuel line (with high presure clamps) on 5.0 swaps in mustangs and it holds up great. One of my builds is at about 7 years old with no issues.

Thanks for the input, will consider this option.

I recently bought the mastercool hydraulic flaring tool. It is "THE" flaring tool! The only flare die it doesn't have is the 37 degree and I "may" add it. I bought it just for the GM pushloc flare, everything else is a bonus. Anyone can make a good flare with that tool! It can be found for just under $300 if you look.

clinebarger

so i did some research on the net, and i think im finding that the 799 was a pre production ls6 head, and the 243 replaced them, but im also seeing some 06 corvettes with the 799 heads as well??

Casting number 799 is also an LS2 head. Came on some late 06 and up tbss and other LS2 vehicles. These are the mexico cast heads. Little rougher finish. Same basic head and flow though.
