Thanks. This one is out of a OBS 1500. Some have the storage box there but when I was at the junk yard I found a couple with this tray, but still had the metal one on passenger side too.

If you cant find one let me know and I can get you one from this yard.
These are the Josh Powers brackets. I may try and mount them on the engine tonight.

I just blew the 4.3 in my 92 1500 and It has a 5spd trans, I've been doing alotta research and some people say the 5.3 wont work with the nv3500 trans but based on what I've just seen i guess it does work. So all i need is a 4.8 flywheel and different pilot and throwout bearings and it will mate up to the 5.3?

Also,Im getting a 5.3 with ecu and harness included, since im using the ecu that came with the 5.3 do I still need to send it off to be reprogrammed?

Can I use 5.3 motor mounts?

Just want to cover everything before I start spending money.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm 19 and I know alot but I still have alot more to learn, this will be my first engine swap.

Yeah you will need the 4.8L flywheel and clutch kit. Also the throwout and pilot bearings listed previously.
You will need to have your PCM tuned or it wont run. You will also need to buy LS to SBC adapter motor mounts. Can be bought cheap on ebay even.
Good luck!
