Re: 71 Chev SWB 5.3 install

Here are the mounts I ordered from CPP. I plan on using the factory fuel tank with a Walbro 255 in-line pump. I haven't decided what filters to use yet. The factory metal fuel lines are still attached to the 5.3 and they exit near the rear of the transmission under the drivers seat. I am going to try to keep the lines and just go back to the tank from there. This 5.3 has the regulator in the fuel rail so I won't need the corvette regulator. I located a fuel sender unit on Early Classic Enterprises website part # 11-729300A for a 72 chevy PU that has a return line plumbed into the unit. The only drawback is the slip on line connections. Here are the photos.
