Thanks for the input. I'll look into that corvette filter/regulator further, do some searching on here or something and see what I can dig up. From what I understand now, I think I'll be trying to keep my return style fuel system, but still unsure...

Looking good man, coming along nicely! I really like the color that you did the oil pan and covers in, nice compromise between black and aluminum

Ordered a Circle-D Converter 278mm, 3200 Stall speed. I'm guessing it should be here next week hopefully. After it gets here I'm ready to start pulling the 5.3L and replace it with the 6.0L!!!

I'm going to be running the complete front setup off of a corvette (It's already on the 5.3l). Brackets, Water pump, power steering, alternator, idler, crank pulley, and gaterback belt.
