However, you should read this forum, search, and read the FAQs (that you'll find posted in threads I suppose). Most of us are more than happy to answer specific questions, once you've done that.

Search Naziâ�?��?�s and fun pokers may rule other boards, but I don't tolerate it much in here, especially to one post newbies. Be nice. NOBRA14, hopefully you can take the gentle ribbing of most of the members. You can search a little bit to find most of your specific answers... The biggest point to make to you is that you will need 19# injectors if you are a non-SVT V6 because the stock 17# units go static at a low RPM = dangerously lean. A custom chip should be high on your list to make it run as good as it can, but it will run on the stock ECU albeit a little rough. 3L head gaskets and the rest comes from a 2.5 rebuild. Block modifications are needed with the 2.5L heads on the 3L block.
