So I am a big machine machinist. I work for a major oil refinery. My hobbies are old GMC trucks, and old mini coopers and motorcycle racing. I am swapping a 5.3 into my 70 GMC short fleetside. Need some info so I joined the forum.

Hi I found slider mounts and shorty headers that worked really well on ebay. This was on my squarebody truck. Dirty Dingo and others have stuff to set you off. Lt1Swap.com site works well if your up to doing truck harness from engine yourself. Good luck.
