Default ls1 with lt1 tank and lines....how to

Since the ls1 is a returnless system what do I do for this setup?

Just run the feed line from the tank to the rail and thats it?

DO I have to plug the return line or wrap it back in the tank!

If you are talking about putting an LS1 engine into and LT1 chassis car then what we did was add the Corvette return regulator under the hood near the driver headlight (hooked to the 2 stock lines), and had one custom line made from the regulator output to the LS fuel rail input. Works perfect.

Not to hijack OP thread,

And what if i'm going to run a custom return fuel system, LT1 tank will work fine?

The easiest thing is to find return style fuel rails from a '97 Corvette and just hook the stock LT1 fuel lines up to them. Done!
