Nice! V6 to V8 in a matter of days.

Are the fuel lines and fuel pump the same size as a V8 truck? What about the exhast/y-pipe?

I think you should now put a T56 in that thing and have Kyle build you a turbo kit.

I need to get a returnless fuel rail...(already can get one just need to get the money)...i wasnt running lean at all so i would have to say the fuel pump will work for now and is supplying enough fuel. The Y pipe and exhaust worked fine...Next plans are pay off my tool box...then T-56, and TURBO REVOLUTION HERE I COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

sorry about all the exclimation points...just felt it was necessary!
