Just replace the rubber sections in the old fuel lines with fuel injection hose and double clamp each end with fuel injection hose clamps. You can buy the fittings that snap on to the rail and just clamp them into the hose. If you have a return less rail then you'll have to use the corvette filter/regulator.

Its been a while that I've worked on my truck...been busy working and dealing with Christmas stuff.
I got a little bit of time today to work on it so i decided to install the pilot bearing and flywheel. That's all i could do today before i have to go to work!

Yesterday I finally put the clutch and pressure plate on! Today i should mount the tranny on. Hopefully it all goes good.
But i tried putting the release bearing on the fork but it would rub...#1377c does anyone know why? Thanks

Well Yesterday I got my friends cherry picker and the LS1 with tranny are in the truck already. I prefer to install the engine with tranny if there is no lift. Was pretty easy. And what i did to make sure the ls was a perfect fit with the tranny in the engine bay was i measured the end of the 350 motor mount to the end of the block and it measured 1ft 2in. on each side. So I got the Dirty dingo mounts and slid em to where it measures the same on the 350 and i mounted up the tranny to it put it in the bay and it fit perfect with the chassis mounts and the tranny crossmember. I'm happy with the dirty dingo mounts. Now im

Looking good man. Just finished buttoning up my 370 now it's time to put it in. That wiring can be a pain in the *** I'm glad I'm going carbed. What radiator are you running?

Thanks man, and nice what mounts did you get? And I'm actually running my stock radiator. Got the 99 truck upper and lower hose and it looks good. Made my own hoses for the heater core. since one of the heater hoses goes to the radiator from the firewall i got a "T" from auto zone and cut the hose and made it go from firewall to water pump and radiator.

Fuel Lines are almost done just need to make one fit but it looks good to me!!
Stock fuel lines going to 2 custom fuel lines going to the corvette filter and a fuel line from the filter to the fuel rail.

Replaced my fuel pump with a high performance fuel pump.... all i had to do was spice up 2 wires. Easy job.
Put on my driveshaft as well and now all i need to do is mate up the new harness with the old harness.
Cleaned up the intake and covers, had to cut so they could fit with alternator bracket and throttle cable bracket
