Been awhile and it is only me doing the swap after work and household duties on weekends, here we are so far

0411 is on order...
Then it's getting Jeff's schematic and going from there...

Any tips for changing out old frame engine mounts? I have lowered the lower a arm for access and replaced bushings as well since they needed replaced anyways

This forum is Awesome! I am currently swapping the 4.3L Vortec out of my '98 GMC c1500 stepside and installing a 5.7L V8 Vortec w/ mild cam, machined heads, & balanced crank. This forum is helping me figure some things out.
