You have more than enough room, a 3'' core that most trucks on here run will be just fine for your setup. if you do it you will obviously have to cut out some of the driver side radiator support some like you did on the passenger side to clear piping. but you seriously have plenty of room. your ac condenser can be moved also. not sure how much your willing to move and what not though.

Thought I would give you guys a bit of an update, first off, a month ago, the 4L80 I had was stolen from my storage locker, so that's a little set back, but still pressing on.
Heads are off being ported and will get PAC 1211 valve springs. Also will put in ARP head studs in when those get back.
Picked up 160# injectors, 3.3 bar MAP sensor
Did some engine painting
Got a Jakes Performance converter and hd-2 shift kit for the 4L80(which I don't have yet now) Also in this pic are the motor mounts from Current performance
Next picked up an ls6 cam and a oil pan from a 5.3 colorado
Basically the motor is getting all new gaskets and whole bunch of other new goodies, so it should be basically brand new. Since I don't have a garage, I don't have anywhere to do the swap till spring, so some forged goodies are in the near future
