On your swap, try to put your headers on prior to sitting the engine all the way down and bolting it in place. I have tried Pacesetter Fbody headers and Schoenfeld C10 LS swap headers and it looks like I’ll be lifting the engine first and maybe even slightly notching the frame. Mine is an LS1 and I noticed it does have different mounting holes then an iron 5.3. I can’t remember which adapter plates work either but Schoenfeld recommends using a certain Dirty Dingo part number and claim their headers will fit.
If you use the camaro LS3 or L99 waterpump like I am using, it will line up with the truck accessories of your 5.3 and you can use a short uppoer radiator hose like I am using instead of running one across your radiator.
