Ok so I got the 6.0 to go in my dads buggy. I have a complete wire harness hooked up and all the accessories. I have never dealt with a motor like this. My questions are

With it being computer controlled what will it take to start it. Do I just need to hook up the ignition wire to the key and go?

Is there an adapter that pushes into the factory push lock fuel line that allows me to run soft lines?

And last but not least he wants an in tank fuel pump so he doesnt have to hear it. Is there any issue with getting a stock pump for that motor and building it into his fuel cell?
 
Well right off your gonna need battery power..im sure the computers need to be hooked up for it to start.

I used a fitting from earls fittings that connected to the stock fuel line then was able to use steel braided.Just make sure the rubber line will be ok with the psi the pump will pump out.

Had a buddy use a stcok pump from a 1500 truck when he swapped in the 5.3.Just get a spacer/mounting spacer made.
 
Has the engine ECM been flashed with a tune program of some kind ?
 
I bought my adapters for my 5.3 from Jegs or Summit I think. You will need a 3/8 for supply and 5/16 on the return. I ran aluminum hard lines where I could and then ran fuel injection hose and used fuel injection clamps. So far so good with zero leaks. Don't have part #'s but they are a Doman part.
