87 chevy 5.3 swap

I have an 87 chevy Scottsdale, wanting to do a 5.3 swap. Idk what all I would need to do it, or if they make an adaptor plate to goto my 700r..?
Looking for some info on what would be needed to make the complete swap.
Thanks

Need the adapter mounts, either a converter for that swap or the spacer and long bolts from an early 6.0. I don't remember how Marcus adapted the power steering, I think the hoses fit the newer pump.

Go over to ls1tech and look in the conversion section and you will find a lot of info with a search. LS1truck.com also has a lot of info.
