wix was backordered so went with microguard from orielys,was only 20$.when wix comes in I'll have it ready to install when microguard quits.
i would recommend going with the screw on adapters instead of the push locks for the an fittings.

I saw you're using the corvette Fuel Filter/regulator. Would you mind giving some more detail on how you're mounting that. Stock lines or aftermarket AN stuff? how are you handling the return?

Thanks!

Seems a little light compared to a 3035 lb factory curb weight of a 5.0 LX notch. I wouldn't imagine there'd be that much difference to an LS swap? If it turns out to be accurate, hell yeah that's awesome!!

Car looks super clean, I'd love to daily drive that thing.
