    Looks like it belongs in there. Kinda reminds me of TRTTurbo's truck.

    His truck is actually the one that got me really wanting to do this, about the same color and all. I can't wait until its all done.

    Yeah, we did that motor swap in record time. It went very quickly with all the tools right at hand. It's all the small details that take so much time. Billy handled the small finishing details. The Nelson Performance wiring harness made the swap simple.

    looks good! So the engine side of the mounts is from a 5.3, and the truck side was your stock mounts?

    Ok,

    On the engine I have some adapter plates such as these
    eBay Motors: LS1 LS6 CONVERSION MOTOR MOUNTS ADAPTER PLATES (item 230188741384 end time Nov-11-07 15:14:01 PST)
    Then I have the cups seen here.

    and all that is bolted to the stock style 350 motor mounts.
