But I will probably get one out of wrecked truck. Guy i take my vehicle to for repairs only works on chevy and gm trucks. will not take nothing else lol. So he hooks me up on repairs and what not pretty good. Im trying to talk him intp putting a 6.0 in it but i doubt that will happen. Cause the next to go would be the 4L60E

So now that I got the new motor in, time do this swap.
Parts list:
*fittings for fuel line and rail. Do they make compression fittings where I wouldnt have to weld on the fuel rails? If so what size and where do I get them?
*Braided fuel line. Guessing about 18 in?
*Should I just buy a corevette fuel filter to use? Or can I just use the same fuel line set up, but just modify the crossover to get it to work?
*Modify cable bracket, saw how to do this on the other thread.
*take map sensor out tbss and install one from my intake now.
*On the second picture, I know I just unhook the 90 degree looking thing and plug it in on the tbss, but what is the second thing with the wires? is that the map?
*The last picture, what is the the thing on the side of the fuel rail thats round? Is that the eva stuff?
Sorry for the long post, trying to install in one day so getting my ducks in a row. retune will follow also. thanks for any advise or help!!!

Don't mess around with compression fittings on your fuel system, last thing you need is fuel leaking. Weld some AN fittings on your crossover and make up a small piece of braided hose that way you can use the stock rails. The tube at the very front is for the EVAP, the connector right behind it is the MAP sensor, the thing on the side of the fuel rail is your fuel pressure regulator.
Hope that answers all your questions.

Thanks! Sure does. I still don't understand why I have to use a corvette fuel filter? Why can't I just leave all the fuel lines the same since I'm using the stock rails, and just modify the cross over?
Also will the PCV just plug into where the orange cap is or do I need to buy a new end? Heard it's different on some and others it's not.

Cool I will be keeping fuel rails, thanks!
So on the PCV line where it plugs in, do I need a new plug in for it or will the one from my intake work? Have heard it's a smooth bore hole instead of have clips or something like the one now? Is this true?
Also the map sensor will just unplug from my intake and plug right into the tbss intake?
On the brake vacuum line, how does it hook up? Just pull hose from intake and hook it up the the tbss intake? Or is there a plug or ring or something I should also transfer over onto the tbss intake
Thanks for the help guys

Anybody know the part number for the tb gasket that goes between the tb and intake?
Do I need one of these also? Torquerush Dr. X-link 2.1? or is this for DBW only?

This should be the throttle body seal PN: 12589235. Are you drive by cable or drive by wire?
Edit: Just noticed your pics in the first post. The X-Link is for DBW only.
