[i_love_cars]

is this where I put my vote in for an LS swap? 

Let's not dwell on the past. Let's look at the bright future of a rumbling, MPG-killing V8.

Amen to that! Once you go V8, you never go back. #V8Mafia

Kinda, -6AN fittings attached to a stock filter/regulator. See pic.

Making new fuel lines with my new 37 degree AN flare tool! Super easy but haven't mastered my bends yet.

Fuel Feed: Tank -> 4-6" of 3/8" rubber hose -> barbed fitting -> -6AN Male -> -6AN Female -> 2' of 5/16 Steel fuel line -> -6AN Female -> -6AN Male attached to input of Fuel filter/pressure regulator -> -6AN Male attached to output Fuel filter/pressure regulator -> 4' of 5/16 Steel fuel line -> -6AN Female -> -6AN Male -> braided fuel line -> -6AN fuel rail adaptor -> LS3 Fuel Rail (Needed to use to fit MSD Atomic AirForce Intake) -> DEKA 60lbs injectors

Fuel Return: Tank -> 4-6" of 3/8" rubber hose -> barbed fitting -> -6AN Male -> -6AN Female -> 2' of 5/16 Steel fuel line -> -6AN Female -> -6AN Male attached to return of Fuel filter/pressure regulator

Thinking about putting a pressure gauge in the engine bay for easy trouble shooting.

You should. They are cheap and will save you some guess work down the road! Glad to see you making good progress. Keep on hammering through
