took the stock 5/16 line feed and return, put 1/4 to 3/8ths barbs on them and stepped up, china stainless lines to the feed on drivers rail, china crossover, into another china to the china regulator from squeeze performance, then push lock, into stepper barbs back into stock return line lol

works great!

Dude, you're rockin on this one! Girlfriend bought you an engine hoist?! Awesome! My wife is my biggest fan when it comes to garage stuff! She's a gear head at heart. She saw the 4" exhaust pipe laying under the my Nova and thought it was ductwork for the basement!!! I still laugh every time I think about it. Good luck.

Sounds like your lady sabotaged the 4.8 so she could get a 5.3 upgrade...

Yea I saw em, just wonderin where you got the plates to bolt to the block. Another member sent me a link to some ebay ones for 25 bucks though

Not too bad in the noise/vibration department with solid mounts?
