What are best options for dana 44 high steer and link kits.

4.3 TBI to 5.0 TBI question

remove the offset plates on the frame. (notice how deep the fan shroud is) Put v8 mounts on frame. all accessories should be plug n play. You'll need new v8 shroud and radiator. That's about it to get the motor bolted in.
