ls3 fuel lines Hi, I am putting a ls3 525hp create motor in my 76 ( not 79 like tag) corvette.
I am restoring it. Si I am replacing the fuel tank and fuel lines. I am getting SS fuel lines. Do i need a return like it have now or just 1. Also what type of fuel pump setup is recommended.
Any ls corvette people comment?

Id depends on how you want to set it up...you can use a newer corvette fuel filter/fpr and you can mount it shortly after the tank so you have a shorter return line, or you can run an aftermarket fpr and have it mounted in the engine compartment and have a return line coming off of it all the way back to the tank...And I think there may be a way to set up a returnless system, but I don't really know how to set those up...

The in-tank pump from an F-body (See Vetteworks page) has the regulator built into the pump so the return is done at the tank, kind of like a C5 regulator. This makes the fuel line running the same as a returnless system where you only need the feed running to the fuel rail.
