All cranks are the same length.  Stock LS flexplates for 4L60E's have a slight dish to them.  You will need a spacer for your TH350.

This is the one I was going to get, but I ended up doing an intank pump.

I would run an intank pump if it were mine.

What kind of intank pump did you run? and how could I do that and run Dual tanks do anyone have a tank selector valve that will handle that much pressure

Yes, you can get one from autozone to handle the pressure, I have the PN somewhere, but you can look it up...
To run a stock intank just get an 87-up EFI sending unit and bolt a 241 (corvette) pump to it.

JC Whitney has the valve too.  I was scared off though, the return is 1/4" and the supply is only 5/16's, maybe that is ok, but I was concerned, until I am told other wise.

Feeds on mine are 3/8" and the return was 5/16, just like factory.

Bowtie I noticed on your spreadsheet that you had a bunch of hose ends fittings and adapters, just wondering where everything went on the motor? and did you use braided hose or rubber hose and about how much in length? Thanks Chris

a lot of the fittings ane what not are on the tranny lines/ps pump lines.  I purchased 20 ft of SS braided aeroquip -6 stuff.  I used an 87 sending unit and put tube nuts to -6 male ends at the sending unit, and used the factory steel lines up the frame.  Put tube nuts with male -6 at both the supply and return front and rear of the lines in the frame.  I made 2, 2ft SSbraded with -6 females to go from the sending unit to the frame fuel lines. ( note, I swapped the vent and return, factory 79 return is only 1/4" and the vent is 5/16's, the 87 sending unit was already this way ) 


At the front where you would run the short rubber hoses to your mechanical pump on a small block, I routed 2 stainless steel lines up and around the block to the back of the intake, and into the fuel rails.  I used the Russel quick disconnect fittings to the stock inlet and outlet at the rail.




I would suggest you use filter that is at least 20 microns.  The one I have is 40, and it bothers me, I need to add another one, or get a 20 micron filter in place of the one I am running.

I used the 87-up Sending unit and a 241 pump in place of the TBI pump.  I ran my lines down the frame rail and tied into the rear fuel lines on the LS.
