    getting parts for swap

    i need some info.. i have a 2006 5.3 i just got with 40k... parts i have now are headers, motor mount adapters, wiring fixing to leave for nelsons, new comp cam, pack valve springs, comp push rods, 243 ported heads.. please list anything i mite need so i dont have to wait on parts. trying to get it all at once..

    i plan to use the stock trans for now.. its a 96 5speed, i want to use a light weight flywheel like a ram clutch.. i think i found it but not sure?? is this the right one??

    also what fittings will i need to hook up the fuel lines? im not doing the vett filter.. being a 96 i have a return line.. i want the nice fittings..

    also the temp adapter and oil adapter where can i get them i called summit and the guy was lost!!!

    can someone post some pix of how the fuel line looks when its done and where the water temp fitting goes??

    fuel lines i took mine to a local hose shop and gave him the new fuel fittings that go on the rail and the old fittings that screwed into the throttle body so i wouldnt have to alter my lines. im sure there is another way to do it.

    the temp and oil adapter i got from street and performance just look them up online and give them a call and what ur wanting ect they will know exactly what ur talking about. the water temp fitting will go on the back passenger side head, there is a plug screwed in the head and you remove it to put the adapter in.


    look at this guys build, same swap ur looking to do he has pics of everything you will need.

    fwiw, the vette filter takes advantage of the return line. That is it's whole purpose. You run the pressure side from the pump to the filter and any excess pressure over 58PSI is returned to the tank via the internal regulator in the filter.
