Default Help with fuel line on LT1 conversion???

I have a 97 Z/28 that now has a LQ9 with a LS3 topend. I already have the Vette regulator, but need some help in what all I need to do to get everything connected. I plan on useing the stock LS3 fuel rails and injectors. I know I don't need the LT1 return line. But, what can I use? Or, what do I replace everything with?
Thanks,
Rob

Idk when you plan to have this running. I put my car away for the winter but when I bring it out in the spring I'm going to replace my whole fuel system and I will sell you my conversion lines.

My fuel rails don't have a return. So, I thank you for the reply, but it doesn't apply to my setup.
I would be interested, but my car is at a friend's shop now and I need to get it finished so I can get it home. Unless you can get the fuel stuff off while it's still in storeage?
I plan to locate the filter/regulater were the stock LT1 filter was.
Could really use some help with a parts list, and/or diagram.
Thanks,
Rob

I think so, but don't know for sure. You're talking about a line flaring kit, correct?

Well not a regular line flaring tool. He needs to have a bigger flare tool. If he does he can just cut the screw end of the filer connection. Flare it for the vette filter then just make the return line longer and it'd be plug and play.
