LSX swap fuel system what ya got

With so many of us doing LSX swaps, and all the different ways to do the fuel system, it can get kinda overwhelming. How about a thread like the "LSX swappers what ya got" thread? Maybe the mods can make it a sticky.

Vehicle
Engine
Fuel tank
Fuel pump
Fuel lines
Returnless?
Build thread
Running?

Then maybe a little about how you like it. And if the mods are ok with it, maybe some prices if you want. Thanks.

Re: LSX swap fuel system what ya got

Here's my current setup.

Vehicle: 1972 C10 longbed
Engine: 2007 LR4 4.8
Fuel tank: Stock in cab
Fuel pump: Walbro GSS342 stuffed into the stock tank using a kit intended for turbocharged '94-'97 Mazda Miatas.
Fuel lines: Mostly stock with new rubber.
Returnless? No. Converted to return type with earlier fuel rails / regulator.
Build thread: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=592021
Running? Yes.

This was a setup to get things up and running quickly. It accomplished that, but long term, I think I'd like to move the fuel tank under the bed. Even with new rubber fuel lines, I can't seem to get the smell of gas completely out of the cab, I suspect NHRA tech inspectors will hate this setup, and having a fuel pump sitting right behind me is seriously loud. (On the other hand, so's an exhaust with 40 series Flowmasters and no cats, so you only really notice it on startup. But for a more civilized truck, this would be seriously annoying.)

Wasted Income: is your tank sumped and gravity fed to the pump?

Re: LSX swap fuel system what ya got

It's gravity fed as long as the fuel level is above the pump...lol. There is a "sump" in the bottom/rear of the tank, but not quite in the traditional sense.

Re: LSX swap fuel system what ya got

Vehicle - 72 C10

Fuel tank - Factory
Fuel pump - Walbro inline
Fuel lines - EFI Hose
Returnless? - No
Build thread - http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=515425

Not that impressed with the rubber hose and clamps, but my brain about exploded trying to figure out how to do the fuel lines, and it still hurts when I think about improving it. Trying not to spend $400 on fuel line also!

An '87 squarebody doesn't have a tank behind the seat. But if you intend to put one in a 67-72, it will be noticeable. I would suggest a good stereo to cover up the noise.
