Default GM 5.3ls swap

I am sure someone has done this, and I guess I can't use the search feature well enough to find anything. So, if you wouldn't mind throwin me a bone or two. i have figured out enough to know to swap the complete drivetrain including tranny and case. I am wanting to address the stuff that can be a pain in the ***. Cooling, fuel delivery and electronics just to start.

FrankZ from Serious Offroad did the swap. He documented it on NAXJA.

To clarify a bit....
The motor mounts will save a lot of fab time. Buy 'em.
The Novak Headers are the only one's that will work...PERIOD
End of story.
Don't waste your time looking around or asking about other brands.
