Default silverado 2009 1500 engine swap from 5.3 to ls3

hellow,

i have a silverado 1500 and im planing to make an engine swap to an ls3 the only thing im worried about if it will fit with the ls3 water pump, powersteering and all other pulleys without modification needed ? or i would have to change the whole pulleys to a truck offset ? because what i knw that the offset is diffrent and the pulleys are located in diffrent places??

so the question is will the engine fit in perfectly ??

and im doing that because i want to get a whipple 2.9 in the future

It should be a direct swap.

What kinda drivetrain are you going to put behind it? The 60E won't last long with that setup, and the rear diff probably won't be far behind it, especially when you start to blow on it.
