fuel setup for 2006 motor.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So, my motor looks like this one. It has one feed. I was planning on using a fuel sending unit from an 87 blazer (unit has 4 outlets), and fuel pump from 1990 iroc camaro. Do i need to order anything else?

You'll also need a Corvette fuel filter/regulator to use the returnless fuel rail.

does this motor have the regulator built in at the fuel rail?

No, If it did then you would have a feed and a return line.

72gmcshorty · 06-22-2011, 11:24 PM

is there a cheaper (yet just as good) alternative to the corvette filter/regulator?

So this is what i have so far:
1990 Jeep Wrangler gas tank (25 gallon. It is what fits, don't ask) - spectra premium #JP1D
1987 Blazer sending unit - spectra premium #FG12k
1990 camaro iroc fuel pump - ACDelco #EP241
2000 corvette filter/regulator - wix - #33737
Anything i might be missing? I plan on ordering from rockauto unless someone can recommend a cheaper place? (I will be getting this stuff shipped to the border so trying to order everything from one location)

A Wix filter is a pretty good alternative to the $100+ AC Delco, they're about $45. Any other brand I would stay away from.

72gmcshorty · 06-23-2011, 12:12 AM

thanks for that. changed it on my list. My total for all that is $269.65 so far (including shipping).

The wix filter is only $35 at rock.

Can someone tell me the difference between the EP381 pump vs the EP241? I am using a 25 gallon tank (if that helps). Better yet, can someone tell me what would be the proper replacement pump for a sending unit from a 1987 blazer with 25 gallon tank?

difference you are asking about is here.

http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/fuelin...-vs-ep381.html

the LS motors need 58PSI at the rail minimum.

Thanks for this. Changed my list. I wish incorrect info like this (using pump ep241) was taken off this site.
