Subsrcibing....I have an 82 That I may put one of my 5.3's in. Headers, fuel pump and motor mounts are my only concerns! Do the SDPC adapters allow the engine to sit in the stock Locaation so I can use my trans and transfer case with no issues?

Subscribing as well, you did a great job!

I'm about to help a friend do a 6.0 swap into his 86 Suburban, so i'll probably be back asking questions along the way. :p

I ordered a piece from a non-sponsor that goes in between the transmission and speedo cable that acts as a pickup for the ls1 computer. PM me for the website.

i used stock f-body headers(believe it or not) with minimal frame grinding. i used a frame mounted walbro 255 for my pump, and The SDPC adapters move let the engine sit in the right place but I did have to modify the cross member to move the tranny forward 1"...but 1" shouldnt be a big problem for you...

I will try to get a video to let yall hear it, but it is really really really quiet. I ended up running the true duals out to stock c6 mufflers, thinking it would have a little sound since it doesnt have cats, but its so quiet I can hear the tiny exhaust leak where the passenger side header clamp isnt quite tight enough (but decided to leave it as is, since it makes it sound like its got old 350 in there...haha).
