LS1 Intake on 03 5.3
gotta question guys, wanna do a ls1 intake swap on my truck im aware of the loss in torque i reallly wanna do it for looks. im into the exterior of vehicle never really been into motors but i do have friends that are into it that could help. ive searched and searched and ive found some pretty good information on it. i just am confused on a few things since im not motor tech savy. like i said its going on a 5.3 03.
-i see where the alt brackets is to big and the idler pulley needs to be relocated is there one that you can just bolt on or is the only way you can make it work is to cut up the factory one?
-what kind of fuel injectors do i need to get? i know ones for a ls1 intake are longer but will stock ones be fine or do i need to get performance ones?
-can gto fuel rail covers the same as vetter rail covers?
-the fuel rails....oh i dont even know where to start i really dont know what to do with them. i dont know what there talking about with single return or some ****?? lol i dunno.
-this may be stupid question, but is the intake paintable? like i say im doing this for a cleaner engine compartment. so i wanna incorporate some exterior colors under the hood. i already know the fuel covers will definitely get painted.
much help is appreciated.
thanks in advance guys.

^ thanks I've already read that thread interesting stuff. What's a svo injector? Will the rail covers work with all the wires and valve covers or do I need to Do what he did and switch covers, ignition coils, and tuck wires? Valve covers can be painted correct? Don't have to coat them?

svo's are just a ford style injector.
without reading your first post, you'll need rails, injectors, idler pulley relocate and water pump modification. the swap has been done so many times, there are some really great write ups on EXACTLY how to do it. search ls6 intake swap...
