Default 4.3 to carbed 350

i have a 2001 single cab 1500 with a 4.3 that im wanting to swap for a carbed 350 with a more than mild cam. other than motor mounts, trans, electric fan. what else would i need to have a clean good swap. the 350 is going to be rebuilt fully. i may could get vortec heads and intake if it would make the swap easier.
thanks

this is a shot in the dark.

Try the stock 4.3 motor mounts before you buy anything. if not then look at transdapt mounts.

Id use a stock radiator and electric fan out of a newer v8 model

trans should bolt up but you may have to get a stand alone TCU. TCI makes them

all the front accessories should bolt up to the 350, including a/c

headers. good luck no one is going to make a specific header for this swap. just gunna have to find some that will work, or some to modify.

you will need to get a NON electronic transmission as well, that does have an electronic speedo or purchase an adapter. just a dumb question why do you want to go backwards in technology??

put a TPI 350 in it or put TPI on your 350 read this. http://forum.gmtruckcentral.com/show...T-ON-THE-CHEAP

it is awhole lot easer and nicer

You could use a gen 3 ecm with your sbc . I do with my turbo 383.
