Re: 1978 c10 5.3 conversion
Nice. You should do a build thread showing your fuel pump, harness mods etc. This is getting to be a popular swap.

Great job.
What headers are those? They look like they might be mid length Camaro headers. |

Is the K&N cold air intake form the same vintage truck too? That is one area I think needs the most work on all the swaps I have seen. Yours looks to fit pretty well. What did you have to do to make it fit? |

Great looking install. Who did your computer reflash? Great looking truck too by the way.
