Wow that looks like a cool build.

looks great, I'll be doing a 5.3L swap on my 88 suburban this spring. Already did the fuel pump in the tank while still driving the 5.7L tbi around. What motor mounts did you end up with? I still have to figure out the harness as well.

I built a flat plate that bolted to the 6.0l block, then took the stock motor mount buckets and bolted them to the original mount in the frame - then I set the engine down - placed where I wanted the engine from front to rear - marked the buckets where they contacted the bolts on the flat plate - then cut around the bolts and welded the bucket to the flat plate. Sounds kind of busy, but it really wasn't - I've done many of these conversions and this was by far the easiest one yet, plus I retained the stock engine mount.
