looks great, I'll be doing a 5.3L swap on my 88 suburban this spring. Already did the fuel pump in the tank while still driving the 5.7L tbi around. What motor mounts did you end up with? I still have to figure out the harness as well.

Sounds kind of busy, but it really wasn't - I've done many of these conversions and this was by far the easiest one yet, plus I retained the stock engine mount.
