Well start off with what PCM You're going to use . Since You're short block is a 2007 , it has a 58x crankshaft reluctor so You're best bet would be to use a 2005-gen4 PCM so You're going to need the gen4 front cover unless You use an earlier cam that has the reluctor at the back of the cam. the oil pan will work and so will the valve covers . the front accessories are spaced front to back differently so if You want to use any of the LS1 acessories You have to use it all (crank damper, power steering alt bracket, water pump) The heads (243's) will work on the gen4 5.3L just make sure to check ptv clearance and measure for what p-rods You'll need .
