i have a 53 truck on an s-10 frame. i bought a 4.8 long block to put in it. i have been told that it is going to be more money and a lot more headache to fit it back with all the fuel injection. only had the motor for a full day now and dont know much about it yet and i havent removed anything to check yet but was told it has a different cam and stuff in it and friends suggested it would run better with the carb kit from eldebrock. anyone have any suggestions?
