Default truck fuel rail

Will the LS1 and 5.3 truck fuel rails interchange?? Are the injector spacing and mounting hole locations way far off? The truck fuel rail has a return line and a vacuum fuel regulator, it would work great for a return fuel system. And its cheaper than the $165 S&P modified fuel rail. Also does the 96-97 corvette fuel rail have a return line?

pretty much if you want a return line you could go to S&P and buy a corvette fuel rail from a 97 or have them exchange out one of their rails that have the return line or you go and get a aeromotive regulator for about $140.00 and do the same thing. And use any normal ls1 fuel rail. The truck rails and the LS1 rails do not interchange.

Why does everyone want a return line at the rail? Just get a 99 vette fuel regulator/filter. It comes with three ports...in/out/return. Mounts anywhere you want. Close to the tank is best for a short return line...and keep the truck rails.

Just out of curiosity what is the part number and cost of the Vette filter/regulator?. I used the Mallory four port regulator. It cost me around $70 if I remember it right. I liked it because it gave me a good spot for my fuel pressure gauge.

It ensures a continuous supply of cold fuel at the engine.
