Default 5.3 in my K1500?

Has anyone ever done this? Looking to get a bit more fuel economy and a bit more power... Truck only has about 103,000 miles. Any pics or "how to's?" Maybe a price guide? Any and all info is appreciated!

Thanks,

Tonka

i have done this swap in my 88 k1500 everything is complete just waiting for my harness and computer to come back. really easy swap in my opinion. any questions just ask. also i have a question for anyone? i am not removing my tbi computer and the fuel pump works off of the oil pressure switch well i am using a mechanical gauge in my swap. any idea how i should wire it or where to tap into. was thinking about using a toggle switch but not sure if i want to do that. and info is greatly appreciated
