Im looking for someone that has a 5.3 California conversion in a FJ60. Getting ready to start one and would like to see pictures of exhaust and swap altogether. Any help would be great. Thanks

Chevy discontinued the E-Rod 5.3L this year for some reason, but it came with the cats and manifolds etc. from the factory. They are similar parts that were sold on say a Chevy 1500 or Tahoe so you can still get 'em:

I have a 1987 FJ60 with a 2005 5.3 from a Tahoe. I used manifolds from a 2010 Camaro. Cats and O2 sensors were from donor vehicle.
