Default Fuel filter with 3/8" inlet and outlet

I need a fuel filter that will support the ls1 fuel pressure but I can put 3/8" inch fuel hose on each end and clamp down. Anyone know of one I can get from the local parts store?

Odd

You want a filter that can handle the pressure of a LSx system to use clamps not rated for the pressure and special high pressure hose more expensive than AN6 line/fittings...

To answer your question, any filter from the 80's with a threaded fitting on each side will work. Get saginaw to 3/8" barb fittings. Will work fine until the car burns to the ground

Please be a little more kind. I like this forum and I don't wish to be reprimanded like a child on it. Your advice is helpful though so please be that kind person to help with it. Share your understanding, don't throw it at me like an insult.

Alright

You're plan is unsafe. Use the proper fittings for a high pressure system. The filter itself makes little difference as the paper element doesnt care what pressure it is under, but rather the fuel type passing through it
