[megolfer]

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

Thanks for the links. Your build is very nice. Where did u get the exhaust with cats. Also what manifolds are u using. 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.
