Fuel System Advice Needed!

[Crash0637]

Help! I am looking for some advice from you gurus out there. I promise I have searched this site and a few others but can't seem to find an exact answer as many threads get so caught up in which fittings are what and so on.

I am trying to figure out my fuel system plumbing/routing.

I have an F-Body tank with a fuel pressure regulator in the tank assembly. The motor is a 2002 5.3 Truck motor that is completely stock. This engine fuel setup is with a regulator on the rail and a return line.

I understand I cant run two regulators.

Is my best option to swap the fuel rail out in favor for the newer truck OEM return-less fuel rail and then run a corvette filter setup?

I have two friends that know quite a bit about ls swaps and they both have differing opinions.

Please help me. Thank you in advance!
