LQ4 in to 68

trying to round up all the parts I will need to do the swap. any suggestions/recommendations will be muchly appreciated.

not trying to do things the cheapest way, but not trying to break the bank. just a solid, quality build.

I am defiantly wanted to run long tube headers. which one offer the best ground clearance?
how is the BRP mount kit work with there headers?
is the LH8 oil pan give that much more clearance?

is there a direct fit LS swap radiator out there some where?

This is what I used: Dirty Dingo slider mounts and CPP engine stands, Cadillac CTSv oil pan, Entropy radiator and Doug Thorley 324 Try-Y headers. You can check out my builds in signature.

I would also look through these threads, they will be a good place to start and lots of good information:

If you do a DBW pedal, I also make an adapter bracket for mounting the pedals in a C10:

Good luck on your swap!

I started here

I have not set the motor yet. I want to see how the A/C compressor fits.
My plan is move the stock mounting stands back so the compressor will fit.
