So an LS in your truck?
-Motor mount adapters
-Fuel rail adapters
-Stock computer and wiring harness
-LT1 flexplate
-Radiator hoses
Its easier if you can get the engine and trans from the LS truck, making the 700r4 work with the new engine isnt a good idea IMO.

Im still workin on my swap but i think to drop the 80e in u hav to lower the crossmember an inch or two and be good...could be way off...i do know that as far as parts go atomic has the parts u need already listed...But no way would i go with nething less than a 4l80 but we are shooting for 700hp so if its just a daily driver then u could go with a newer style 4l60 if u plan to stay stock...oh and u will need a walbro (depends on what u plan to do) or a 96 or newer fuel pump for a silverado or sierra, lokar adjustable throttle cable, and corvette fuel filter 99-04...u can use the stock exhaust manifolds or switch over to shoenfield longtubes...is it a rcsb or ecsb?

I have a stock 5.3 for sale, 70k miles...
Not sure what is needed to put an 80e in an OBS, but im sure the crossmember will have to be modified and custom driveshaft....which you should get anyway if you are making decent power.
