My old engine was the 305 TBI. I am puting in the LT1. Do I need new fuel lines? I already got the new fuel pump, didn't know if I needed new lines because of the increase pressure or not.

i'm using the old school hose clamps on the rear of the lines by the gas tank but i replaced those hoses with new fuel injection hose. Upfront you'll want to get some lines to go from the intake to the hard fuel lines. Contact lt1intake.com or thirdgen.org member z 2 8 r i c e r,no spaces. Or see what the alternative intake forum guys are doing with their LT1 intake swaps.Originally Posted by 92rs85berlintta

I cut the TB end off my stock metal lines, flaired them slightly, and joined them with the stock LT1 fuel fittings with high pressure fuel injection hose, then used 2 hose clamps on each end.
