my next project car is a 87 regal 5.0v8 with a auto trans. I am wanting to do a complete 5.3 of 6.0 budget swap. what would be the best way to go with it, carb or efi and if there is anyone that has done this swap would greatly appreciate any input.

You shoud try the search button. There are probably two dozen g-body swap threads.

Where?

GNCLONE

I just finished my 87 Regal swap, was not bad at all.

Do a lot of reading: this site, and Maliburacing.com, and Gbodyforum.com.

Mounts and pan depend on personal preference. Seems a bunch of people use the adapter plates and a hummer or CTSv pan which clear but hang under the crossmember. I used a f-body pan which requires setting the motor further back and notching the heater box, but does not hang below the crossmember.

Start by checking out John B`s swap http://www.montecarloss.com/ls1montecarloss/index.html

i would do carb if i did it again, easier to setup the fuel system and cheaper
