I am in the midst of getting a brand new LS3 (426 hp) pulled from a 2010 Camaro SS. I plan on installing the engine in my 1971 C10 but have a few questions for you:

1. What motor mounts did you use ... and are you happy with them.

2. Did you retain the factory A/C pump from the new engine ... and if so, were there any clearance issues with the stock frame?

3. Did your TH400 bolt up to the back of the new EFI engine without problems? I already retrofit a TH700-R4 to my truck and I'm hoping that the trans will bolt up to the new LS3 engine without problem.
