S10 with LSx swap

[Groyd]

I have a 51 on a 1997 s10 frame with a 5.3. I am at the point of the the fuel lines. First off, I have no experience with fuel lines besides changing a fuel filter. I have the corvette 2-in 1-out filter with the Russell quick connect adapters to connect into the engine.

Can anyone give me a heads up on what I need to do to connect the fuel pump to the filter? Connections, adapters, etc...

The original return line runs all the way to the engine bay. Does it need to be removed completely or just cut and reflared? If cut, how would I go about getting it reflared after it was cut? If removed, how would I connect into the original connection on the fuel pump?

I've looked on

but it didn't answer my questions. Maybe I'm just not understanding what questions I even need to be asking.

since you have the corvette filter, I assume your fuel rail has only 1 input, right? also your filter goes between the tank and pump, right?
If this is all correct, -6 to pump and to rail from pump, -4 return to filter.

I used russell brand braided lines and connections.

Yes, the fuel rail has only 1 input, but the pump is in the s10 tank. The filter is on the frame between the tank and rails. That does answer some of my questions though.

Now I guess I just need to figure out what would clip directly onto two of the three outlets on the s10 pump in the gas tank that would run to the filter?



I already got an AC Delco EP381? that should get the psi right, I think?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I believe you need something like this...

The AC Delco ep381 pump will work fine. For the connectors, Dorman makes repair lines that will fit into the Corvette filter and they also make the factory type quick connects if you're on a tight budget. Otherwise those aluminum ones that hook to AN fitings and braided stainless hose like Clyde65 posted are real nice.

Found some on Summit site, but your local auto part store should have them.

The male part for the filter.

Or if you're real cheap like me, you go to the pick-n-pull and get them for practically free!

Thanks for the help everybody. Hopefully those fittings will get here quickly and I can get this thing scootin'.
