Those relocation brackets come from Kwik Performance out of Springfield, MO. That's where I got mine anyway and that looks like the same kit. It runs about ~$200

subbin in to this one

greens69 · 11-06-2011, 12:16 AM

Thanks everyone!!

Sorry I was out of town last week. That is the correct information on the ac relocator bracket.

SamMargritz00 · 11-07-2011, 04:18 PM

looks great! what kinda tranny did you put in? I have the 4L60E in with the 5.3L install on mine and it will only shift from 1st to 2nd. did you have any problems?

red71cheyenne · 11-15-2011, 09:52 PM

That sure does look good in there. Question for you though, how is the spark/timing controlled on this engine? It looks like there are coil packs but I can't see a place for a distributor.

Firebirdjones · 11-15-2011, 11:12 PM

It's all computerized with crank and cam sensors.

72BlckButy · 11-16-2011, 08:36 AM

Any updates on the install?

What did you use for fuel delivery?

chuckmc8 · 12-04-2011, 07:34 AM

OK, that just pegged the cool-o-meter! You should consider a write up for this swap with details and parts list. It rocks!
