Default Any '60-'66 Chevy truck swaps done?

Hey gang. I'm looking to start gathering as much info and parts as possible to install an LS1 in my '65 Chevy truck. Has anyone done a swap into these trucks?

Mine's a 5.3, not an LS1 but the swap is basically the same.

Very nice!

How hard was the install overall?

Very straight forward, no particular problems. Engine and trans drop right in with the right mounts, a little bit of wiring and figuring out where to mount stuff, but not difficult "overall".

1) What wheels are those? They look great!

2) What A/C setup is that?
