Default Fuel Rail Problem

I bought a 2002 6.0 long block.......i bought a 6.0 intake off of ebay......found some interesting things about the 6.0 fuel rails and the 4.8 fuel rails.....the 6.0 intake i got has only one fuel port for the fuel line......the other one goes to the front on the top side of the intake........on my 4.8....both the supply and return are on the LH fuel rail........can you swap the fuel rails and it run?

Some of the other rails are not return style rails. You can re-use your current rails and such.

The 6.0 is virtually identical to the 4.8. Most everything will swap right over.

No. Use your 4.8 flywheel.
