When we were putting the engine down in the truck, it looked like it would pose a problem so I took it off. I go to put in on today, and well it fits, but it is all up in the frame c-channel. So I have a set of 98-99 f-body manifolds and some corvette manifolds i am gonna try tomorrow. If those do not work, I will be stuck buying some S&P headers for it.

I used all of the factory engine mounting hard components ie. motor mount cups, and frame mounts. I had to use the engine mount adapter plates from brp. They worked out good. I will post more pics soon. As I have quite abit more work to do... Finish fuel system, remove th350 - put 4l60e in, figure out exhaust as stated in previous post, power steering...I am sure there is more.


Dana Dash from LT1 wiring did the wiring for me, awesome guy and awesome service. He does all the wiring harnesses for my swaps. This is the first truck harness he has done for me as we use the fbody harnesses usually.

Thanks for the comments guys keep em coming, as I will keep the pics coming.

Looks like a fun project. I think that you might have had room in the engine compartment for two motors if you wanted!
