Yep - that's what I'm doing w/ the exact same car... (I'm using a Walbro 255 pump, I'm thinking that a fourth-gen pump would be trickier.) You'll just need to use the Corvette filter/regulator assembly.

Check the sticky post at the top of this forum, & then do a search, & you'll have all the info you'll need.

Good luck.

No, the LS1 regulator is in the tank pick-up.

For Corvettes, it's built into the fuel filter.
