Default 03 Silverado LSA Swap Return to Returnless

For starters, yes I know converting from a return style system to a returnless is bass-ackwards. However, I'm having a difficult time trying to figure this one out and maybe it's just me being an idiot but so be it. I'm wanting to do an LSA blower on my 03 Silverado SS that is factory return style. To my knowledge, the fuel rail used for an LSA blower is set up for returnless. SO, what are my options here? I'd like to retain the return system if possible if it isn't going to cost an arm and a leg. Any and all info is appreciated.

Thanks!

Default return

maybe the Vette fuel filter will work for you,
built in return line.

I've seen those rails. Definitely a better price than the Fore rails. I was just hoping for a bit more of an economical option.

I thought about the vette regulator/filter but wasn't sure if it would work for my application. I'm down to give it a try though. Thanks.

Couldn’t you keep the return less rails, and just add an aftermarket fpr to tie into the factory return line?

How well would that work? If doing that I'd have to run the regulator between the fuel supply line and the rails. I always thought it was optimal to have the regulator after the rails. But obviously on a returnless rail, that wouldn't be possible.
