Fuel system question?
 
So i have a 2003 chevy 5.3 LM7 engine non flex fuel and im adding a 450LPH pump with 95lbs injectors and planning on going e85 will i need to swap out the fuel filter or will a stock fuel filter run with e85?

Replacing the fuel filter for a new one but want to know if oem fuel filter is ok for e85

Wix filters are E85 safe. I even went on to the wix filter website to double check. The flex fuel engines call for a different filter part number than a non flex fuel.

I believe napa would have a wix filter. Just know that with that large of fuel pump you should get an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator so you can keep fuel pressure steady at 58psi.

Injectors all work the same for the most part they are essential just a solenoid. One wire is hot the other is grounded by the Ecu typically. I would just wire up the plugs the same way the old ones were left wire left side of plug, right to right.
