if you do a search on here, you will find templates so you could build your own. or you can do like i did. i bought a set w/ hardware on ebay for $30. if you keep the powersteering, you will need a couple of metric to -an adapters. i think they are 16mm and 18mm to -6an. either keep the fan on the motor or get an electric one. you will need a lokar ls1 throttle cable. mine is a 36". you will need to do something with thr radiator hoses. i went with the metal ones that summit sells. they are bendable. you will also have to do something with the fuel system. im doing the same swap right now, but mine is a 5.3

carshop inc makes the plates. get your computer tuned by jesse at wait4me performance. i recommend going with dbw throttle. the swap is not hard at all i did my swap on my truck it took about 3 or 4 days. i swapped in the 5.3. Btw jesse also does harnesses. i went with a external fuel pump.
