Ls1 installed into 1982 trans am need tech support Hello everyone! my LS1 is now in and bolted up into my 1982 Trans-am. I'm awaiting for the guys at Lt1 wiring to joint my 82 cross-fire injection harness to the 99 Ls1 ones and there modifications. Thing's that I still need to do is, swap the old gas tank with the LS1 one and fuel pump. That I currently have at the shop. Only thing is I need the fuel lines to it. My thought is this.. use the Ls1 plastic fuel tank with its fuel pump and look for fuel lines of a 99-2002 trans am and put those in my 82 trans am. Will this work? if any one can give me some tech support on that it will be highly appreciated! I will list some pictures below of my project along with my K.I.T.T. car

1982 trans am Ls1 need Tech support (pix) Hello! Just finished installing my Ls1 into my 1982 Trans-am with ex Cross-fire injection. To complete I need to install the wiring harness witch I'm waiting to recieve from the guys at Lt1. Spoke with Dana, very helpful guy. Last will be to replace the old gas tank with the Ls1 plastic tank and fuel pump. This is were the Tech support I need comes into. If I install the Ls1 tank and pump can I just run its fuel lines into my 82 and reach all the way to the front? I don't have the fuel lines yet but still looking for them. I thought I go this route since I have the tank with its pump and avoid the aftermarket fuel regulator. Has anyone done it this way? I have not bolted the tank in yet, any trouble doing so? or just bolts right in? I will attach some pictures of my project. Here are some links to view pix..http://img241.imageshack.us/my.php?i...e0614rh3cq.jpg
