LS swap to a 72 K5 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have gathered most of the stuff I need to get the project going. I am down to the a rolling frame on the K5.

I will be buying the motor mounts for the 6.0 soon. This is my first LS swap so with the motor mounts for the 6.0 is there a clearance issue to the firewall?

I am leaning toward the TH350/NP205 mostly because I have the set up ready to go.

Clearance to the firewall?

Does the block set any higher to where the normal 4WD high hump needs to be modified?

Sort of been buying along and gathering so there are only a few huge expenditures as we go.
