why do you say your injectors are too small? didn't you use the stock injectors that came in the 5.3 intake? I have my 5.3 all ready to put in with the fuel lines installed and i new paint job. Just need to basically pick a weekend and install it. Can i use my stock engine coolant sensor for the electric fans or will the computer get mad and throw a code because i have it unplugged and wired into my own fan wiring harness.
i'll get a thread going bout my swap soon.... getting my lt's and ory this week. i had wheatley tune my truck, and my injector cycle duty is at 109% so i needa get bigger injectors.

has anyone who has already done this swap had any issues with the fuse pannel. Can the stock v6 one work?
yes you can use the factory fuse box...
