Default G-body LSx swaps, any useful links?

I have found a couple of links to people with G-body cars that they have swapped LSx engines into, but I was hoping to shake out a couple more (G body) yields a LOT of threads.
I am looking to drop a 5.3 all aluminum block with a T56 into a 1980 malibu 2 door, and was hoping to find a pretty detailed break down of what people have used with respect to pedals, wiring issues, motor mounts, headers, linkages, etc.

For the most comprehensive site John B has it . It helped a lot when I did my conversion. If your looking for pics of how the truck motor will fit check out my fquick account, the link is in my sig, I have posted a lot of pics from my conversion.

i am in the process of doing this on my 87 GN, and for the wiring, i stripped the harness and re-did it to put the old fuse block into the heater box hole. also i cut up the stock truck accessory bracket and relocated the power steering up higher, as it wont clear the steering box. ill get some pix for you this week if you want, tell me specific areas that you want to see as well. anyway heres a link to what i have up so far. also i cut 2 inches out of the truck pan and notched it to clear the crossmember better, i have it as low as i could get it in there safely.
