    Hey guys!

    Just wanted to say hello to everyone, my name is Rob, and I was referred to here by another member on 67-72chevytrucks.com. I just aquired a 5.3/4l60e combo that will be going into my '63 chevy pickup that is in the process of being converted to a crewcab. The truck lays all the way down to the rockers now, is bagged all the way around, and I'm shooting to have it driveable in the next year or two. I'm going to be wiring in the engine harness myself, and this will be my first time attempting to wire in a fuel injected engine. I'm very excited to get this thing going!

    welcome to the site. Is there any differences your going to run into when putting the 5.3/60e in compared to say a 67 chevy truck? My buddy has a real nice 67 that im trying to convince him to do a 5.3/60e conversion

    Nope, should be the same, maybe a few more wires on his, but nothing too difficult. I looked at the cost of building a 383, with a new intake, carb, machine work, etc, and the 5.3 won by a longshot. Don't get me wrong the 383 would have been sweet, but I really would rather have the smooth driveability of a fuel injected newer engine.

    Thanks, mmmkay! I'm already looking into all the required components that are going to be needed to make this happen.
