Default fuel system help?

i have a 2004 gmc sierra with a 5.3 lm7 with a return-less fuel system. im currently running stock fuel rails, siemens deka 80lb injectors , walbro 400 fuel pump with the hotwire kit. im wanting to put in a boost controlled fuel pressure regulator but im not sure what one to go with. i been looking at the areomotive universal ones?

ive also been trying to cram info on all this but from what i gather is i will have to convert the system to a return style system and may also have to get some new fuel rails? if thats the case i think i got the rails picked out and i know if i need to convert it i can use a -6 line. but if i have to do this im not quite sure how to hook it up and run it. also dont know what all fittings id need and how long of hose? i appreciate the help guys.

do you by chance have any pictures on how you modded the top of the bucket and how you ran the return line? i know i wont need the bulkhead and stuff inside the bucket because im running the single. also what regulator did you end up going with?

I drilled a hole in the top for the bulkhead and wires. Thats it.

Return line follows the feed line that followed the factory fuel line path.

Aeromotive 13101 I think...

The regulator you posted has -8an in/out. Look for ones with a -6in/out. Or I could sell you mine since it's going to be awhile until I get a new motor for mine

What about building a quality feed line and using the stock feed line as a return line?

Would it be better to just do that use the feed as a return?
