Have now got the destined 5.3 up and running. Click for video.



Runs well. Selling of remaining parts from wreck to help pay for new flywheel, pump and motor mounts. More documentation will take place when the conversion begins. I have done a lot of careful measuring. I was hoping to use the factory y-pipe, however I believe it would be extremely tight fit, if it even fit at all. Will be running factory manifolds coupled to a custom exhaust.

Still unsure of the fuel pump. Will be using the corvette regulator, however I'm not convinced where I should put the fuel pump, intake tank, or inline? I like inline, since if it failed, it would be easy to change. However intake pumps hardly fail, and I have two tanks, therefore two pumps, and it would be much quieter. Opinions?
