6.0 lq9 swap in 55 chevy hi doing a lq9 swap in a 55 chevy. im using the 6.0 liter liter returnless fuel rail.
i am wondering if -8 to a walboro 255 is too much ? i have searched and most say -6 i fine, but i already have the car plumbed for -8 when it was a an na smallblock.
i have found these fittings
and was going to use this pump 
and a vette filter.
basically what i am asking is -8 too big on a mostly stock 6.0? will it hurt anything?

Were you putting the vette regulator/filter at?

Tank is sumped so planning on putting pump on rear crossmember then running line down the side of passenger frame rail. Was goingto mount vette filter on frame rail even with front of tank and run return line back to stock return line on factory sending unit . After more checking I'm thinking I may just run 3/8 line or -6 black pushlock.
