Re: Sparky's 1978 Silverado Build "Addiction"
 
Finally found a build thread. Been lurking on IG. I’m Mac’s Garage. My 73 has a 350/700r4 but built that engine when I was 14 and it now burns and smokes a little oil. A customer of mine has a 5.3 I pulled out of a rolled over truck we parted out. 120k miles 4x4. So I’d have to get trans shaft and tail housing swapped for a 2wd. But my question is on your intake. Is it using the factory truck injectors?? Nice truck by the way man.

54Caddy, yes, I used the factory injectors. However, I took the cap off of the tip of the injector so that it would sit deeper into the manifold. Used a pliers to take them off. Thanks Mike

Interesting. Have you ran it like this yet? No fuel leaks?

Truck is looking good.

How can I get one of those Home Built C10 stickers as shown in post #428?
