Hello,

Thanks for the replies, the engine runs decent and with some small funds put to it would run great. I looked into an EFI bolt-on kit, but the cheapest one I could find was around $1,500 (if you know of a great place to search please let me know!) and I'm looking into doing a resto-mod and working on the original motor while I have a reliable truck to drive. For $800 I could have a 5.3 and it's already fuel injected, so that was the toss up for me. Being that this is my first restoration doing the research is the learning curve for me on how I want to do this. Thank you for posting that link, it will be really helpful!

So after viewing your profile, and hearing that you guys like pictures, I started a build page where I posted the pictures the day I bought the truck two weeks ago.

Also, what's a great site to look for parts where you can find original and performance parts, right now the main site I'm using is Summit Racing.

Thanks!
