Default C3 LS conversion

looking for a fuel delivery solution for the LS conversion on my C3. Can any one offer a suggestion on the best way to get the gas to the motor?

Sent you a PM on this. I'll have pictures of the setup soon. System I am using should be good to 650 HP.

Ah Your killing me, You've been working on the swap haven't you, God I'm dieing to start working on my swap, I am so loaded with other responsibility's, I don't know when I'm ever going to get the time to even pull out the old small block.


The system Gordonm is talking about is a great inexpensive way to get the fuel system set up for the LS swaps. Thanks again Gordonm for setting me up with that info.

Gordonm, did you buy a new tank for the set up or are you using the old tank?

amantinori, You wouldn't want to share some details about your swap would you. Maybe even a few pictures?

Riggs.

I bought a new tank. I could have used my old tank but it was setup for the fuel injection system I was using on the Gen1 motor. I sold the new owner everything, tank and fuel system I had with it included. Yes I have started to gather some parts and I have started working on the fuel tank. I also removed the radiator and am sending it back to Dewitts so they can set it up for the LS motor. I talked to John there and he is going to put in the correct size inlet/outlets and put in a bung for a temp sensor and a steam line.

I got the clutch and flywheel setup, and a Quicktime blowshield, motor mounts and a few other small details. Almost done the 71 suspension I am working on for a forum member and once that is done full steam ahead on the LS3

If you search the LS swap thread over in the Tech forum there are a number of options for fuel systems.
