06 5.3 build I'm building a 5.3 to put into a x frame 62 or 63 belair and i know for fitting purposes I need a f body oil pan and I have to relocate the alt and p/s . Instead of buying a aftermarket set up couldn't I use the accessory brackets off of a ls1 ??? If anyone could shed any light on this that would be greatly appreciated .

I'm trying to keep from having to cut anything , but if I decided to go with a ls1 intake wouldnt I have to move my accessories ? Also I'm doing a cam swap what would be a good set of lifters, values, and springs to go with and the most affordable place ro get them.

Waterpump neck will be in the way of the throttlebody if you switch to a car intake. On the older cable-operated TB's, you can just take a ball peen hammer to the waterneck and dent it slightly where the TB touches. I thiiiiiiink the truck motors after 2002 do not have cable TB's, so I don't knwo what kind of clearance issue there would be on your motor.
