Does your fuel rails have the fuel pressure regulator on there or not? this determines some of the options.

Then you will need the vette filter/reg set up.

Re: !!!!5.3 Vortec Swap Started!!!!

I really like what your doing here I have always wondered how hard it would be to do. One thought I had years ago when I got my 1999 brand new, I wounder how hard it would be to chop it right at the cab and graft the whole frame and all to a 69 frame? I think you are going about it right.
