Hi,

Im about to install a 2000, 5.3 ltre Vortec engine into my 1966 Chevy Truck, half ton. Im planning on keeping my 200r4 transmission while ditching the 283 engine currently in place.

What do I need to make this fit and work?

Will I need a torque converter spacer to mate the LS with my 200R4?

Can I run headers without clearance issues? (i dont want to cut into my frame)

Do I really have to pull the pens out of the ecm? Why cant I just cut the wires?

My LS has the cable driven throttle body, do ineed a geometrical bracket to run my stock trans tv cable?

Thanks,
