Default 87 c10 5.3/4l60e swap

hello ls1tech. In response to your answer, ive completed the swap. ask away. I used s&p adapter plates, corvette fuel filter regulater, electric fans, current performance fuse box, jba shorty headers, notched my frame so the jba headers could fit, ep381 fuel pump inside the tank, & friend with hp tuners removed vats to use stock pcm.

From what I have found, the Schoenfeld 88+ headers will work in our body style as well. I just ordered mine last night.

I used S&P headers. They fit fine but I will notch my frame by about a 1/4" just to make sure one tube won't hit the frame.

One tip, the collectors need to be bolted on the headers before the headers are installed or you will never have room to reach in there with a wrench.

I have an '84 and sent you a pm. What kind of radiator and electric fans are you using. Was going to use the stock radiator and Windstar fans.
