A couple of questions I don't think I have seen answered is what headers do you use for the 88-98 body style install?
Which fuel pump is everyone using?
How do you adapt the old style fuel lines to the new fuel rails?
Someone mentioned Street and Performance engine mounts. Which ones?

Now maybe I am trying to simplify things too much(because I want to do this soooo bad) but. outside of the engine mounts, and the A/C bracket I don't see any super difficult tasks. And feel free to enlighten me on how difficult this really is.

Headers? there are none unless you wanna be a test subject...allen is using 6.09L stock manifolds and im gonna have to use stock manifolds as well.

fuel pump..allen mentioned that a pump from a LS1 car would be ok, but he upgraded to an aftermerket pump for about $120 i think

fuel lines....cant help ya there... allen probably can

S&P has them pictured on their website..just look like plates with 6 or so holes in them

and look at it the same way..a little wiring, do something with teh a/c, and the mounts and you're good...simple swap....although the tranny in mine will need some custom stuff too, but similar to what br1ev8 and i have already witnessed in his LT1/t56 truck

For headers, they dont make any like Brandon said. Allen is going to make his own, and you might be able to use some shorties for a 99+ truck.

Motor mounts? You'd have to make your own, i dont think anyone makes any. Allen is suppose to be making some.

Wiring? Get a 99 truck or car harness and follow the wiring write up we have under the how to section at www.ls1truck.com. If you can't understand it, then you can post here and allen will help you.

For a/c. If you use a truck manifold, you have to use the truck accessories and the a/c compressor hangs too low. You need tro cut the crossmember some or wait till allen gets some made and sells them.
