Hey guys, I got a 96 swb truck that has a vortec v6 5speed that iam going to be putting a 98 vortec v8 auto trans. What iam needing to know is what all do I need to make this swap painless. I want all the stock gages to work iam also going to be changing the colom out for the auto trans. I do know I will need the motor mounts an some of the normal stuff.

I called Nelson's to get a new PCM flashed to the new motor so I got that covered. I really need to know will the the trans crossmember out of my truck work. Do I need to move my motor mounts forward. Where do I need to unplug the motor wiring harness at

The vortec v8 iam putting in this truck isn't stock so far this is what it has
scat 6" rods full floating
srp forged flat top pistons
stock crank
comp cam muther tumper cam
comp cams roller rockers
stock heads (maybe)
stock intake

iam open to info to make this motor better!!!
