    fuel supply question

    Hello I have a 07 silverado classic, and want to swap a v8. Just a question, the V6 i have now has a fuel supply line, and a return line. The V8's im looking at only have a supply line going into the intake manifold, with no return. People who swapped a v8 what did you do about this?

    I install a return style corvette fuel filter like in the 2002 models. In the conversion topics there is a lot of info on how to do this.

    Yeah either get the rail with the return or run a Corvette fuel filter which has the regulator built into it, feed and return to the filter/regulator back to the tank and one feed line to the fuel rail.

    Judging by your screen name you have an 07 classic? My 06 was a V6 truck, and it is returnless. Weird. But yeah, Vette filter, or run older rails setup for the return.

    Nevermind.. I automatically thought it had a return. I was under the truck and saw two lines going to the engine and automatically thought it was a supply and return. Today i was cleaning the TB, and noticed there was only one supply line going to the spider injector, no return. So i'm assuming that one of the lines below must be for the evap?

    Also did you reuse the oem fuel supply hose to feed your v8? The v6 like looks like it will plug into the intake manifold of the v8.

    Yeah ones the evap. You're gonna have to modify the fuel line. I cut mine at the firewall before it bends and ran a braided -6 line to the 5.3 rail.
