fuel rails on PI engine swap

pawdaddysstang · 05-07-2006, 07:48 PM

My son has a 97 GT,just Bought a 02 motor.the fuel rail on the 97 has two inlets. the 02 has one.where does the extra one go? has any one done this swap before?

Use everything off the 97 (intake and fuel rails). 97 had a return style fuel system where the 02 was returnless.

Thanks mach1, just another concern, the 02 rail on the driver side has electronics of some sort pluged into the fuel rail. do you know what this is for? thanks a lot!!

I beleive that is to moniter the fuel preasure on the returnless fuel systems. They have some kind of fancy name for it I beleive. You won't have to worry about it since you'll be using everything off the 97 mod your pulling.

I agree with 04 Mach 1, just use all the fuel system components off the 97.

I would stick with the return style fuel system on the 97

you will have a ton of problems if you try to use the 02 rails. i used the 97 on my swap and it was fine.
