Default What should I expect?????

I'm putting a fuel injected 5 liter along with a Tremec T5 in my '66 w/ the serpentine belt drive. What should I expect during the swap? Fitting?

Expect to have headaches[:@]... I have not done the swap myself but from what I understand, the wiring is definitely the hardest part of the EFI. If possible try to get a buddy who is good with electrical wiring and schematics to come help, that would probably save you a number of hours. Other than that its not TOO difficult. James' website helped me a ton, even though I only did a few of the same things as him.

The wiring was pretty difficult.. Well, it wasn't that bad actually, but I haven't tried to fire it up, so maybe it was difficult.. I'm debating if it was necessary to run 4 relays (Ignition, fuel pump, eec, and O2 sensors).. Probably wouldn't hurt, but is it necessary, I dunno...

Fuel, on the other hand, is proving to be quite a dilemma.. not hard per say, but dilemmas.
