Re: 71 Chev SWB 5.3 install

I then re-installed the motor and transmission and it fit perfect. The motor mounts bolted right up and the oil pan had a lot of clearance. The factory transmission crossmember bolted back up in the factory holes. I replaced the rear transmission mount that was on the 01 GMC Suburban with a new two bolt mount that the 71 uses and the mount also bolted right up to the factory holes in the transmission crossmember. The driveline even fit perfect with no modifications needed. The power steering hose I had on the serpentine set-up I had previously installed also bolted right up.
