Thread: So it starts...Gen III 5.3 Vortec into 51 Chevy

Tweet

Alright I just bought some injectors and they shipped this morning, so hopefully they will work.

I think mine are just too gunked up from sitting. I got one to free up and start clicking but then it got stuck open and wouldn't stop leaking fuel, so probably flooded that cylinder out now, I had to relieve pressure in the rails to get it to stop.

So now I will just put these new or newer ones on and see what happens

Fuel injectors arrived today!!!

WHOOO!!!!!!

Yeah, it was definitely those injectors, put those new/used ones I got and she fired right up

Oh yeah and vids will be posted either this evening or tomorrow morning, depending how work treats me tonight.

And she runs, now to fix the header leaks, so far thats all that seems to be leaking

Hopefully she can be road ready by this weekend

Can't turn left


This is as far left as I can go:


Open to any and all opinions on how to make this work. I did run headers when I had the old SB 350 so there must be a way to make them work

Alright well I guess the vids I promised are on hold.

I pulled the headers off and am going to tow the car down to the exhaust shop to get the header work done right, so I guess you could say they are now going to turn into custom headers...

sweet nice work
