Default L83 build “lsxmali”

I had a 4.8 in my 80 Malibu had everything bolted up ready to go. Found a good price l83 decided to pull out the baby lsx sell it & buy the new 5.3 lt style engine. Starting all over again cleaning it prepping it for paint. Dirty Dingo mounts are here fit perfect i need a holley oil pan to clear cross member. I am reading someone had issues mating a t56 to his l83 i wonder if i will run into the same issues running a tr6060 instead?

Any good swap tips for these gen V engines for harness repin or anything else drop them right ahead i appretiate it!

The bolt spacing on the block for the motor mounts are different?

yes you have to get the gen V LT mounts. I went with the dirty dingos they made my ls swap easy.
