Questions on 5.3 build.
I will have many questions so I am starting a thread to ask them in. I will try the search feature before asking anything.
(1) I cant find info on how to hold the crank pulley when trying to remove the center bolt.
(2) Also I can not figure out how to remove the two fuel line connectors on the intake manifold. I took the metal retainers off and do not know what to do next.
Thanks

If you have a m6 just apply the parking brake and put it in gear. If you have an A4 remove the starter and jam a screw driver in the flywheel. You need a fuel line removals tool from your local part store, something like this.

I tried the block of wood but the crank crushed it. I was able to get it done by bolting the flex plate on and bolting a chain to it.
I found a spanner wrench in my tool box that worked for the water pump pulley.
My next item is deciding what kind of fuel pump to run. I am toying with a in tank retrofit using a Walbro 255lph pump.

My next challenge is how to plumb the fuel pump.
I have a 1970 Chevelle and need a plan on how to get fuel from the tank to the engine.
How have you guys done it?
The tank has a 1-3/4" opening for the sending unit. I am open to either in tank pump or external.
I looked at Walbro inline and can not find 10mm x 1.0 to 3/8 barb for the suction inlet or 10mm x 1.0 to male quick connect fittings for the pressure side.
Part #s and pictures if you get em please.

I ended up buying a Walbro on EBay that comes with a mounting kit with fuel line fittings.
Next step is wiring up the modified engine harness. My harness was missing some sections to the transmission and 02 sensor.
What sensors are needed to run a stand alone harness

I bolted on the spacer ring to use a th350 on my 5.3. The only problem is the bolts that are recommend for it only have 1/4" of thread to grab onto the crank.
If I tried to torque them I think they would strip. Has anyone here used the 10mm thick GM spacer? What length bolt did you use? I have 11mmx1.5x23mm and it seems too short.
