New guy with a '60 Chevy panel

[TheBig60Panel]

Hi, everyone I am new here and wanted to make my first post and tell everyone about my project.

I am currently going to be doing a swap in my new '60 Chevy panel Apache 10, I am going to be swapping in a '01 5.3. I have only really helped a friend with one swap so I am a newbie to what is needed. I have the motor, harness a 4L60e tranny and computer, the panel currently has a 235 6Cyl with an '80's Camaro 5 speed. Any advice would be helpful.

I do need a few things so if any of you have any 5.3 parts you want to sell please let me know. One of the main things is a stock5.3 converter.

Welcome man, cool project. Youre gonna need motor mounts, I forget who makes em unless you just make your own, also talk to nelson performance they might be able to hook you up with a wiring harness, also what parts do you need I got a bunch of misc. Crap laying around just lemme know bud, depending what it is ill just give you some stuff for the cost of shipping.

Wow, thank you. I am going to make my own motor mounts and tranny cross member. I forgot to mention I also have a harness. My buddy is selling me his headers, x pipe, mufflers (pending fit meant to see if they will fit with the stock torsion bar, going to be change soon though) and fuel pump from his '63 Chevy that we put a 418 stroker in.

Do you happen to have a converter for a stock 5.3, or any drive lines ( still need to get a length though)? I may also be looking for a stock engine cover.

Thanks again for your help.

Here are a few pics of the '63 and a link to the build I am doing on my Camaro. The Camaro will also be a LS1 swap, the 5.3 was going in it to begin with. Now the 5.3 will be used in it's tow rig (till I can find a 6.0 or so any way).
