Default Fuel rail question

Gathering parts for a 5.3 swap in my 96 Tahoe and had a question regarding the fuel line/ rail. My factory fuel system has return and feed lines, the engine i purchased just has a feed line. To ease instillation is it possible that i can just swap out my fuel rail with an earlier rail that has both a feed and return or is there more to it than that ?

It's probably easiest to run what the truck has if you only want to do an engine swap. If you are going to do new fuel pump and tank stuff, the returnless works good and you'd just run a small return line from a Corvette fuel filter back to the fuel tank.

Im trying to utilize the Tahoe's current fuel system witch has a return line, new intake is return-less just figured it would be easier and more cost effective to swap the fuel rail if possible.

Just swap the fuel rail,should be cheap and easy to find,most people just toss the truck intakes into the trash.

Thanks, just wasn't sure if that was doable or all that had to be done. Problem solved.
