truck looks good..im interested in doing the swap on my 98..so what motor mounts did you use? was it an easy swap to do since u went carbed?

used the stock truck mounts with adapter plates. everything line up as if it still had a sbc in it. i don't remember who made the plates. i bought them from someone off ebay earlier this year. used the manifolds that came with motor and adapted my exhaust to line up. i am switching to shorty headers next year since they will be a direct swap.

Nice swap, looks great. Do you have any video of it in action?
I'm looking at doing the same thing with my 99 Tahoe.
How long did it take to do the entire swap?

Thanks

it only took a day to do the swap. not yet on the video. i am having oil pressure problems. oil pressure drops to zero then goes back to round 45lbs then drops back to zero after a few minutes. i think its the o-ring. i never had the motor apart to check it. i am going to get another pump while i am doing the cam swap in a couple weeks.
