6.0L Motor into '92 Suburban Questions

[AfterhoursFab]

Hey guys, first time here and figured I'd ask a couple questions to make sure my plan will work. We're swapping a 2004 6.0L motor into a 1992 Suburban. Tranny is a 1994 4L80e out of a pickup. Harness and ECU from Current Performance, keeping the throttle by wire. I've read the stick but have a few other concerns..

1) Will there be any problems bolting the tranny and engine together? Converter bolt pattern, spacing, ect..

2) The owner wants to possibly swap the intake out for the car style for looks (its a show truck), Ive been told to stick with the 98-02 manifold for the 3 bolt pattern. Will everything else line up on the heads?

3) Stock manifolds will fit without hitting?

4) I've been told to go with the 1" setback plates, but the sticky says to use stock location mounts, which way to go?

5) The hotrod pan kit will fit this engine no problem right? P/n #19212593

Thanks!

Also need help with the radiator plumbing, seems like it would be a very awkward to have the upper hose run from the pass side all the way to the drivers side. Thanks!

1) Go to www.crateenginedepot.com and order their 80e flexplate kit with longer bolts and spacer.

2) There is a writeup on the front page of the website covering how to do the car intake swap.

3) Manifolds are close but they fit on my trucks.

4) Use the dirty dingo mounts that keeps the engine in the stock location. I wish they had those when I did my conversion way back when, would have made my conversion so much easier.

5) The hotrod pan kit should work or you can use a truck or fbody pan kit. I've use both fbody and truck pans in OBS vehicles with no clearance issues.

You can use the factory radiator with the NBS hoses, the top hose goes from the driver side to the top of the pump. Lower hose, again use the NBS factory hose. If you have a 34" core radiator you will need to use a hose off a 34" core truck, usually a 3/4 ton or 2006+ truck.

Thanks for the info, the truck does have the 34" core rad. So hoses from say a 2000 3/4 ton will work? Or 2006 1/2 ton?
