I have searched and searched and couldnt find the answer I was looking for so maybe someone on here can help.

The truck in my sig has the 4.3, and I am putting stewarts 01 5.3 in there. On the ls1truck.com message board there is a stick for a 4.3 to 6.0 swap in there, and it says to buy two new fuel line fittings as well as 1ft sections of steel braided hose.

Does ANYONE know if any of the stock fuel lines from my 2000 4.3 will work on a 2001 5.3?

Any input would be much appreciated. Here is the link to the thread from ls1truck.com http://forum.ls1truck.com/index.php?showtopic=9571

thanks,
david

 

if it says to replace them for the 6.0, then i'd replace them for the 5.3 as well.

 

should I only use the parts that are listed on the page or am I missing something?

 

5.3 and the 6.0 are nearly identical

 

Hi man, i am the guy that wrote that sticky, You will need those fittings for the 5.3 swap as well.

 

BTW i replied to your question over on Ls1truck

 

haha thanks. Yeah I am getting real close to the swap and im trying to get ALL the little things that I might get tripped up on out of the way

 

Yep, i understand! Good luck and let me know if you need anything.

 

Where in Austin do you live? I live in south west Austin near Dripping Springs. I may be able to lend a hand when you do the swap or just come check things out, that is if I'm not working.

 

hey DLH, am I going to need that nipple fitting for the back of the intake for the 5.3 that I have? Or is that just strictly for the 6.0 intakes?

randomhero, I live off of east riverside...GHETTOOOOO. But I'm actually gonna do the swap back in my home town since all my buddies are home and I have alot of tools there. But thanks anyway. Once I get it up and going we should cruise out to 183 and Burnet sometime to check out the "scene". I dont know if you have been out that way weds, or saturdays seeing as how your all teh way in dripping springs, but it gets pretty cool sometimes. I havent been out in while, nor have I been in the truck, but yeah..
