Just installed my 2002 5.3L into my 1966 C10 yesterday and I wanted to share the moment. I'm really quite proud of it and overall it went well. The only hiccup I had was the holes on the frame supports were a little too close together, so I had to redrill them about 1/4" farther apart on each side and it dropped right in. The motor mount plates I made at work on our new waterjet out of steel plate. They are the same design as these - http://www.speedwaymotors.com/LS1-Mo...FSOnPAodKQQA3Q

Now I'm off to hook up wiring and install engine accessories. I'm still figuring out what to do for fuel. You guys really helped me along by posting information and pictures of your installs.

Thanks,
Kevin C
