Default New guy from Arkansas

Hey Everyone,

I picked up a 76 Camaro about three months ago and got the bug to put late model fuel injection in it.

I bought a 2004 5.3 engine out of a silverado and it arrived last week. I will be installing this over christmas break (I have two weeks off, I work at a school)

If this install goes smoothly and turns out great I'm doing the same thing for my 82 corvette this summer.

If anyone has any tips to help me along the way that would be great

Thanks!

Engine needs some cleaning and detailing but I got a 6 month warranty

The last owner must have took the Type LT emblems off and switched to the standard vinyl interior.
