Help: Fuel system setup I am putting an LSX 427 into a nova with a fuel cell. The motor is basically a stock LS7 with a cast block and was hoping I could get some advise for how to utilize the stock dead head fuel rail with the cell and an external pump. I have a walbro 255 and I am getting a universal FPR from trick flow. Can somone advise me on how I show set everything up? based on what I can rationalize with al lthe info I have gathered I think i will set up like this:
Cell->filter(not sure what size)->pump->Tfitting->regulator-> Filter(30ish micron)->rails
^<-----(back to cell)-------------------------|
Is this right?
Also what size fuel lines should I use? I was thinking 1/2 inch from cell to regulator and 3/8 from regulator to cell and rails. Like the name implys I don't have the money to to braided lines or anything super fancy.
Thanks

The pump should have a sock on the bottom of it if you are doing an in tank pump.
-8 feed: Coarse filter 35 micron to a fine filter 10 micron. This is what I will be running.
If you have a sumped tank, I don't know if a filter is required before or not. I'd imagine there would be a 100 micron or so filter before to the pump and then use the two sized filters after that. May be overkill I'm not sure on that.
