sonoma swap
sonoma swap bout to start a 5.3 in a sonoma im wondering if i will need the ls1 acc mounts to clear my hood if anyone has did this could you give me a couple things to look out for
First off, there are a few guys on here that have done this swap. I'm in the middle of mine right now, actually I'm a set of custom headers away from the maiden voyage. Anyways, look on my website I have alot of pics and such on there to act as a heads up for stuff like that. You are probiably gonna have to use C5 accessories, modify your front crossmember, cut down the pan, and that is just the start of it. The LS1 isn't an easy fit in a s-series truck because of how wide the motor is vs how wide the truck is. Hope this helps.
