Get the AJE k-member and motor mounts and its not bad from there. Wiring is the biggest thing.

Did you by any chance take any measurements with the stock kmember vs. the AJE, referencing the hood line down to the center of the kmember? I ask because I just got the motor out of my '01 and started mocking up the 5.3 in the engine bay and the motor doesn't sit nearly as low as I was anticipating. My car was originally a V6 and I was planning on going w/ the AJE and now I'm just curiuos how much room is actually gained by doing so.
