nonreturn fueling/return style fueling

Anyone know how to make my early return style fuel system work with the later non return system?
ie; An LS7 is going in my '98!
Is there an easy way or will I have to change pump and fuel rails etc.
This is a track only car..
Thanks

Have you explored the possibility of going with one of the aftermarket fuel rails that can, or would have, a second attaching point for your fuel return line? There may already be one available that can be used.
It seems to me that that would be the most economically viable way to approach this.

Why would you want to get rid of the return style system? It supports a little more RWHP than the non-return style. The LS7 doesn't care which style it is.

Here's my return style:

Nice setup.

BTW, at first I thought he was asking about getting rid of his particular return style, but after thinking about it a bit more I get the impression the OP is primarily interested in making sure his LS7 engine's fuel system can be made compatible with his '98 style setup. It seems that your FAST fuel rail setup accomplishes that nicely.
