Default Just brought it home

Been in and out of these forums for a while and just recently became serious about acquiring an LS for my '71 Chevy short bed truck. I picked one up last night a 5.3 from and '04 Silverado with 80k miles. It came with the complete motor with fan and all along with the complete factory wiring harness including the fuse block from under the hood and ECM. Looking forward to making it happen. Now to find a nice automatic transmission.

It may be an LM7 I am fairly new to the LS swap world. I really have no plans for modification as I am building something that I intend to drive everyday so reliability and economy are of the utmost importance.
