No one makes headers for this swap. Also the only manifolds that will fit in the standard orientation is the 98' f-body ones. I made my own motor mounts but sytyperformance.com makes motor mounts, tranny mounts and an oil pan. The sy has a stock modified truck pan and the Ty has a modified turbo time pan. If I had to chose between the two I would run a stock one anyway of the week. I have zero experience with the sytyperformance one but it looks promising. On the t56... It takes a lot of work to get the tcase to bolt behind it. But if your going for fun and not for track times, a t56 would be sick.

Thanks for the help man! I heard for the t56, I heard one from a vette is the one to go with because of the shorter tailshaft. Guess I'll have to see if anybody can make a adapter if they don't already. I was hoping someone would make headers for a ls1 into a 4wd s10, but that was a long shot. I guess a set of flanges and sbc 4wd headers is the only way to go. :/ what t-case is the best to go with? I was thinking one from a escalade or c20 Denali.

I found a little more info on these. Looks like they have a bunch of options on primary size and mid length or long tubes. Summit shows they ship 10/11/2010. I would think they would make sure they fit before they start to mass produce them; just my $.02
