Another conversion comes to life! After 6 months of planning, and slowly gathering parts, My 63 Chevy II is now running with a beefed up 5.3/4l60E. I have to be honest, I am a first gen SBC guy, and the thought of fuel injection scared me. I'll be damn if the car did not start on the first turn of the key! She sounds really sweet with open headers. I have not driven it yet due to not having brakes, but I cant wait! Video clips to follow soon!

I was so stoked when she fired off, a ton of doubt lifted off my shoulders! I do have a few issues, but only minor. I had a **** load of fuel leaks at the NPT fittings on my billet rails. That one took some time! I have a leaking heater hose fitting at the pump, so I have to drain the damn block 
Other than that, everything seems great!
Duane,
When I first hit the key, I can hear the pump prime. It is by no means obnoxiously loud, but you know it is there. Keep in mind, I do have the back seat out of the car, and the carpet, etc. I won't really know how loud it is until I get exhaust put on the car...I can hear **** over the open headers

I took a video with my camera, quality is so-so...I tried uploading it to my webshots, and yahoo, and it wont work. I can play the damn thing on my computer, but cant get any of the video services to recognize it.

Congratulations! One of my favorite cars with one of my favorite motors! What could be better? We wanna hear about you driving it, or see it on video, even better! Good luck wrapping up the loose ends.
