The motor is in! New tahoe pics 6.0/4l80e Swap

I thought I would keep everyone updated with the swap on my 1999 OBS Tahoe. I got the motor and transmission in and its going to go get the turbo kit fabbed up and then off to have my body guy.

I have a question for you guys.
What did you do for the A/C bracket on the (Lq4)? It won't work with my mounts.
Who has a Nelson harness??
How was the install vs. doing my own?
Does anyone have a turbo on their 6.0 (Lq4) that used the stock manifolds?

Thanks for the help and enjoy the pics and I will keep more coming as I go along.

Thanks guys. The wheels are Budnik. Yes there is some work to be done but I'm so excited to get it on the road. Has anyone used the stock 6.0 manifolds for a turbo setup? I hope they will hold up to the heat.

nice Budnks, lol. Wish that KWIK brand Sanden bracketry was available years ago when I did mine. I like it better than the Street And Performance bracketry that I had to use.

+1 I went with S&P as well. The KWIK stuff looks a little more factory.

I left mine in the factory spot on my 6.0L/4L80E swap. Just notched the frame like an inch or two. I don't know how much different my 84 GMC Sierra is from your 99 Tahoe.
