Default Converting truck intake to returnless setup?

I have an LQ4 I am swapping into a 66 Chevelle. I am in the process of getting all of the parts together to put it in. I was looking into my fuel setup. I am going to try out the Spectra tank with in tank pump. I plan to flip the fuel rails to get a passenger side fuel inlet. I was wondering, is there a way to convert this intake from a return type setup to a returnless? I want to mount a vette fpr close to the tank and stick with the 3/8" factory fuel line that is run now if at all possible. Do I just need to get returnless fuel rail? Can I remove the internal fuel pressure regulator from the rail and cap off the return side?

Just get a returnless stainless rail from a newer motor. They're a dime a dozen, I've got 2 in a box somewhere.

If you flip the stock rails the inlet will be at the pass. side front then. You might look at aftermaket rails if you have to have a pass. rear outlet.

I will try to find a newer returnless rail then.

The factory fuel line comes out on the passenger side, close to the front of the engine as is, so flipping the rails would put me about where I want to be.
