    Starting to gather hardware for the swap

    Ive decided to start gathering the parts for my LQ4 swap.Im planning to mod a stock truck harness to work, rather than spend the money to get a premade harness.I have some questions, and im looking for some opinoins on what works best.

    Which mount kit fits nicely?
    To the TH350/400 guys, which flexplate and which spacer setup?
    Do the stock truck manifolds clear decent?
    Which oil pan works best?
    What accesory setups are you guys running? Power steering fitment?
    Stock radiator setup?

    My truck is a 94 RCSB 2wd with a 5.7.The 4l60 was ditched for a built TH350.Thanks in advance.

    98 RCSB-4.3/4l60E....nothing but reliability!

    I did my '94 way back, but since then, we've done many conversions.

    Use the dirty dingo mounts.
    Flexplate depends on what converter you're using.
    Yes, manifolds clear.
    Fbody pan, the truck one hangs about 3" below crossmember, if you're truck is raised, probably not an issue.
    Any accessories fit, except the compressor, unless you notch the frame.
    Stock radiator is fine.

    Ill be using a stock Th350 converter for now, and more than likely ill go with an aftermarket converter with dual patterns on it.Does the stock pan clear decent? I dont mind having it hang down a little, my truck wont be slammed.I plan to use some sort of short routing for the accesories...alternator,WP,and power steering.Will stock hoses work, or will i need the universal flexable style? Thanks for the answers so far!
