The H3 pan hangs a little bit below the crossmember but not too bad. The Mast or Holley swap pans are much better and fit flush. Current performance can take are of most everything you need for the swap including a custom wiring harness.

I worry on the pan as my truck is lowered about 3-4" in the front an 3.5" in the back running drop spindles an cut iroc-z coils

I'm going to go carb. For now... I've got a harness an etc. for efi but I'm thinking about keeping it for a 6.0 swap for my Malibu plus I really don't like wiring that much lol

Wiring is easy. Not sure on the Dirty Dingo Mounts..the way I had it is the bottom of the Pan was about 1/4" above the bottom of the Cradle.

Are there any companies selling LS swap longtube headers? Last I saw there were sets made and then the company decided not to continue etc etc. I used to own an S10 and loved it and my new house is in a non-emissions county

i know sanderson makes the shorty ls swap headers, imo they need to make some long tube headers, i have a set of there shortys on the sbc in my s10 now they make some damn good headers

BRP makes 1 3/4in in frame longtubes, and stainless works just finished designing a set of 1 7/8in in frame longtubes. You can get BRP headers right from there website, call stainless works to see if you can get in on a set of the stainless headers, not sure if they are still taking pre-orders or if they're taking regular orders yet.
