i need a complete fuel line for my lt1 swap. any suggestions on where to aquire the entire line, besides a junkyard

also i need to figure out what i need to do for the air intake assembly. i've got everything up to the maf sensor. there is a hole between the maf and the throttle body, where does that go? it's oval shaped. can i just get a cone filter on the end?

 

I got mine from In-Line Tube and they fit like a glove. I replaced all the fuel/brake lines for my swap. The only original line that remains is the vent from the tank to the old charcoal canister. You can do a search for them or go to the contacts/links in my sig below. Good luck.

 

CCF8501, CCF8502, CCF8503, CCF8801, CCF8802, CCF8803.

which of these three did you get from in-line. passenger side routing or driveside routing. what did you do about your air cleaner? is there a cone from k&n that would fit?

thanks

 

bump

 

I had custom stainless lines made and fittings to adapt to the stock sender fitting, and reused the stock rail fittings to connect, and there is a few K&N's that will fit on the end of the MAF, i have the largest one avail, heres a pic of it:

 

ok. this is what i am dealing with. i'm swapping from carb to lt1 fuel injected. i don't have any previous tpi lines. i need to start from all the way back to the front. could i use stock tpi lines and when it gets up to around the motor get some braided lines and connectors. what specifically did you use for fittings. thanks for your help. your car looks great man. where did you get the fuel rail covers

 

what about the hole on the bottom of the air cleaner between the tb and the maf. sort of oval hole. where does that go?

 

I did the same with the lines, i got the fittings to connect to the rails from a set of the cut off plastic LT1 lines, removed them from the plastic, and had the braided crimped on, put a tpi sending unit and pump in the tank, had a short braided line made with adapter fitting to go from the sender to the filter, then to the front of the car with a 6AN male/male flare fitting joining the main hose to the short 2 ft hose with the LT1 fitting so i can just unbolt it instead of fighting with the LT1 click connector, the bottom of the throttle body boot theres a silencer that goes there, i just got the 1LE bellows that eliminates it, you can also get one of the aftermarket aluminum pieces to do this, the rail covers i got from GM, they're factory vette pieces, and im filling in the letters right now, to paint them black and put "5.7 LT1" stickers on, thanks for the compliments, just post if you need any more help on it, or IM me if you have aol/aim my s/n is the same as my board name.

 

do you have any links to sites that go into detail about this swap? i need as much info as i can get.

 

all the info is on this site, you just have to find it, or ask the right people nicely.

 

Electro...sorry about not getting back to you sooner but I've been working a lot and doing some home remodeling.

Anyway, I got new replacement TPI lines from them and they both run along the drivers side. I don't have the motor in yet so the part where the connect from the lines to the intake hasn't come up yet. I did read that some one sells pre-made ones from a place called lt1intake.com or something like that. You can do a search and will find a link.

As for part numbers...I don't have access to them right now becasue all my paper work is put away but if you call them up they will help you out.

If i'm not mistaken, the hole you are talking about is on the air cleaner hose not the air cleaner housing right?

If that's what you are talking about, then the hole is for a large air silencer that looks like a home plate. This was only used on Impala SS/Caprice lines. You can do yourself a favor and just seal up the hole. There are companies that make a plug or you can get creative and figure something else out. Good luck.

 

hey thanks guys. i'm just now beginning my swap and i want to prepare alot of information before i get lost. every little bit helps

 

I got new fuel lines from the dealer for $30. got feed and return
