Guess the hydraboost I put on with the six cyl will come in handy when I start the ls swap here pretty quick. The brakes were terrible with the stock booster.

depends on the year of the truck, then you still need to mod the steel lines. it must make 58psi (4 bar) to support any Gen III/IV engine.

id say i went the simplest route with my fuel setup. stock pump (for now), vette return style fuel filter, oem plastic lines w/ quick disconnect fittings. pump not included, cost was around $100cdn.. ill post a few pix saturday for ya den

I actually did neither. 98 LS1 from a T/A into a 92 Sonoma GT. I used the stock brake booster and the coil that came on the engine. I'd say it has about 1/4-1/2 inch of clearance. I've been drivin it around and haven't had any problems with it yet

I think different trucks came with different brake boosters or sumthin...either that or the motor mounts are mounting the engines higher or lower...I welded modified camaro mounts in keeping the motor super low(like 1/4" clearance from the cradle to oil pan) and I had no coil to booster clearance issues either

i used a brake booster from a 2001 chevy malibu for my 6.0L 1999 s-10 , it is only 9 1/2" and gave me alot more room for the drivers side coils

click on the pic for a vid of it running:

Well as far as the fuel lines go I went to a salvage yard and cut a pressure and return line off about midway down the bellhousing from a fullsize. Since I am going to use truck accessories and intake the fuel lines should work. I am going to cut off the the stock 4.3 fuel lines and then either make a flex adaptor out of hydraulic line with crimped fittings or just use compression fittings and see if it will work.
