I don't have any pics but it wasn't to hard as long as you have some mechanical knowledge and such, whats hard for one person is eay for another i guess. I bought the 6.0 with a 4l80e already atached, figured it would be easier and pretty strong. I bought the headers from texas speed that were for 98-04 trucks, I had to cut the flange off the miter the pipes a little to pull them in towards the block but things like that are to be expected. The shift linkage to the tranny works fine with a little bit of bending and trying it. I can get it into any gear with ease. I was able to keep my drive shafts the same lenght due to the tranny being longer and the motor shorter, it cam out about 1/2" different so no big deal. I had a 350 with a th400 originally. It already had dual fuel lines so I just go a pump from a 97 Vortec pickup and that works good. If you have any specific questions just ask.

well as Far as the lights and chassis harness i left that alone and that all works like stock. For the engine and tranny I send the Vortec harness to speartech to have him eliminate all the things that i don't need and to reprogram the ecm which has to be done one way or another. When I got it back everything was like it should be and it fired up once I had fuel pressure and all the wires hooked up right.
