Hi Bob did you run the 5.3 truck injction and front accesories? I think the oil pan needs to be the ls1? Also did you use the auto from the truck?

Re: ls vortec with 4L60 IN 1ST GEN
I'm running the camaro/firebird alternator bracket for just the alternator. The truck brackets will work but the alt and power steering are all one bracket. I'm also running the camaro oil pan , but the truck pan will clear the crossmember and front axle. The only problem is that the pan is it hangs about 3-4 inches below the front axle. Not a big problem if your van isn't lowered. I took the stock wiring harness out of the truck and took it apart and used just the wires I needed. You are also going to have the computer reflashed(under $100) to get rid of vats(gm security). You can use the truck transmission but are going to have to make a tranny mount, speedway sells a nice drop mount for under$50. Like I said I've done a ton of swaps over the years and this one was pretty easy. The worst part was the harness but , it was done in under a afternoon. Bob
