we have a returnless fuel system. 96-98 have return systems but not us. Good reason to swap though lol Return style is a better fuel system in my opinion.

+1 tee is right return style is better but it takes a bit of money to do the swap. I'll sell you my old walboro 255lph fuel pump. I bought it on accident not knowing that I didn't have a return side. 75 bucks shipped.

Start over on the passenger side of the motor where the fuel line comes up to the front. From that point all the way to the injectors, reuse your 03 fuel stuff. That should solve your problem correct?
