And........The Fuel pump.........A couple of concerns here.......The GM pump has exposed wires that are submersed in the gasoline........So....I found out by asking the experts on LS1tech how to extend the wires while lengthening the pump......I was told to use PTFE wire and shrink tubing only.......took a while to locate the Teflon insulated wire and shrink tubing......finally got everything and got the wires fixed.........next was the flexible "Soda Straw" feed line from the pump to the outlet port on top of the assy........couldn't figure out a good way to lengthen the corrugated plastic tube without crushing or restricting the line........so.....I ended up getting some -8 braided stainless fuel hose and it worked out perfectly......I cut off the plastic tube and left the stock GM RF sealed tube ends on the fittings.....the -8 hose fit over these tube ends perfectly and will be held on with stainless hose clamps.....then I made some stainless rod extenders and longer springs to make the pump to the new length.........all finished, just need to wire tie the wires to neaten then up.......
