looking good bud! wish i would have waited and got everything i needed before i started my swap. question for ya.. how do you plan on hooking up the fuel fittings. i saw other ways it was connected with just hose and clams but how does the it work with those connectors?

Why don't you add the cam before you drop the motor in? It would be alot cheaper and simple to do as apposed to it being installed in the truck!Quote:

I'm guessing your putting the cats in since they connect the sniffer to your tail pipe? If you getgood high flow cats they really don't rob any power just help quiet down the engine and get rid of the gassy smell from the exhaust!
This is going to be a nice swap it should run great!
yea i already have the corvette filter. im just wondering how those connections fit to the stock fueil lines.Quote:

It would be simpler to do it now but I simply can't afford it, I just need to get the 5.3 in ASAP because I don't trust the current engine at all right now and my last tank I got ~11 MPG.Quote:

As far as cats go, I'm getting them to pass the sniffer and to keep the rasp down, I really don't care about how my exhaust smells :lol:
I really don't know much about how people connect them...I just know they double clamp themQuote:
