6.0 LQ4 Swap Starting Point?

[NC_John]

I finally found and bought what I felt was a suitable swap candidate- a SC area 04 LQ4 (doesn't have all the corrosion of the northern stuff I was finding).

Now I have to start engineering the swap and collect the needed parts. The wide array of parts available sure starts a landslide of questions about their compatibility when you mix and match stuff.

I'm going to mate the engine to my T-56 and I think this is where I can start.

With all the different engine swap mounts available is there one available that will park the back of the new LS at the same spot where the Gen I is sitting? At least that way I won't have to move the transmission from its mounting point and get the driveshaft shortened (or lengthened) again.

I currently have the CPP tubular mounts on my Gen I. Would the dirty dingo adjustable sliders be the way to go? And then would the Doug Thorley headers fit?

Thanks for any help. I don't want to start buying and rebuying parts to make is work. This is going to be expensive enough already......
