i guess what im asking is what is the easiest route to go and also what is the best route to go on the fuel pump on a 6.0 swap

nofun

You can use a inline fuel pump and corvette fuel filter, people say
there a little loud but the easies route. There are a few company that
sell complete kits for this. If you don't have a fuel tank for your
project, it may be just as easy to order a tank with the pump already
in it. Or you can mod your tank and put a pump in. For me I need a
new tank so for a few bucks more it's easier for me to order a tank with
the fuel pump in it.

thanks for the reply, my gas tank is still in very good condition so i think im going to keep that and re use it. do you happen to have a part number for the in line pump i think that would be the best bet in my situation

Here's a kit PSI sells, of course you can get the pump and filter alone.

Personally think the Tanks Inc intank setup is the easiest/best setup for retro swaps. We build a universal install kit with their pump. Everything needed included. http://www.nastyperformance.com/shop/nasty-performance-universal-lsx-conversion-fuel-line-kit/

I have the tanks inc PA module for my Nova. Its the way to go if you're doing an internal pump. Internal pumps are quieter and don't suffer from fuel starvation as easily as an external.

Do a little homework maybe there's a late model tank that will fit your
truck. That way the fuel pump will already be setup in the tank and
should be cheap.

For a K10 it's super easy.

Buy the tanks for a 1987 K10. They came with TBI. Buy fuel senders and then buy the pumps for a 1996 Silverado. They operate at LS pressure and bolt right in.

Then hook them up to a corvette regulator along the frame rail.

I did this in my 85 k10 swap. everything works perfectly.

aj i heard that somewhere else too. thanks for refreshing my memory its been a while since i did the research and im just now getting all the parts ordered so i can slap her together.

elementwc3

forgot to ask earlier but aj when you did your swap into the k10 did you keep the a/c all hooked up or did you eliminate that? if you eliminated it do you remember how long of a belt that was needed if not using a bypass pulley?

-thx in advance
