Default ls3 - 4l60e /gen 2 firebird

I just picked up a 71 firebird and have an ls3 and 4l60e trans I would like to install. Can anyone help me out with some vendors that I can get engine mounts, trans x-member, radiator etc. to do this conversion? Also going to need front tubular control arms etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Freddie Zee

I have Hooker ls swap engine and trans mounts. I also have the front only Ridetech level 2 single adjustable coilover suspension with their front Musclebar. Along with this are Wilwood dual piston brake kit and correct spindles all removed from my 71 Firebird. Lab 14 upgraded sway bar mounts and control arm mounts. Spectre premium EFI fuel tank, Corvette regulator with correct fittings. All of this is for sale just posted. Everything has less than 2,000 miles on it. I'm in Chicago. If you're interested, let me know. I'd like to keep the suspension and brake kit together.

Some of it is pictured here:

I'm running an Ls3 and 4l60e in my 71 Firebird as well.
