I dropped a 4.8 in an 85 c10 yesterday. Although I realize our set ups are somewhat different Brew city is accurate on all fronts! I will through out one small piece of advice I went with those ICT billet adapter plates on amazon for $35 trying to save a few dollars and had a lot of trouble. Not all of the holes are usable because of the contour of the engine block. I got a set of Dirty Dingo slider mounts for 73-87 chevy trucks (PN 2500c I think) and they fit like a glove. I did a total rebuild myself (except for cam bearings) and those slider mounts were by far the easiest to use and best value on the whole project!
