i found out the full size 4l60e will bolt to the s-10 trans case, and i also read from several people that the CPI fuel pump i have will provide 60 psi, more than adequate for the 5.3, just a little more info for you guys, i know it will be a challenge, but i think some people make it sound harder than its going to be, just like any thing else, address 1 problem at a time and it will come together.
