In addition to the E-ROD system, the builder will need to source additional fuel system components to complete the assembly and get the vehicle running. Please refer to the installation instructions for further details. All of the GMPP installation guides can be found at www.gmperformanceparts.com/Extras.

E-ROD engines also require a front-end accessory drive system suitable to the vehicle. The instruction manual includes recommendations and measurements for the accessory drive kit, as well as gear ratios and more.
