well now i'm just waiting on my ls2 lifter holders which will hopefully be here tomorrow and i can start putting her back together!

[mattc]

got the short block put together now just waiting on all my gaskets to come in

[mattc]

got a few more things in today all my gaskets to finish assembly, my Circle D converter and flexplate and a transgo shiftkit, also ordered hp tuners so i can get this thing running when i get it all wired in.


i have some questions about the fuel system though. this is how i was thinking it should go

walbro 255------>Filter------>intake inlet fuel line-----> injectors


is the regulator that came with the lq4 intake going to work? or do i need to add something to make this all work? i've tried searched a little but i havent really found a deffinate answer that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy and sure about the setup lol.

i have the dual fuel lines already if that matters.

my truck has threaded disconnects at the firewall right behind the intake manifold used to be (the 5.7 vortec) i just found out what fittings they were.. im sure they're threaded o ring fitted to -6an

This way you don't need 10+ feet of fuel line you know?

thanks for the help!

after some digging i found this picture and it shed some light on it for me, got all that ordered for my fuel lines i'm still unsure about the regulator issue though. did some more work last night on the motor

Circle D converter and flexplate



Pinned the crank, damn near flipped the engine and stand over trying to torque the harmonic balancer bolt lol.

yeah i used a small tap handle to slide through the flywheel to keep the engine from spinning and used a 4 foot floor jack handle for leverage and it picked the entire engine up. but i got it and it damn sure wont spin now lol, it did put a hurting on that little handle!

what are the part numbers for the fuel rail fittings and how much did you pay for them?
