4.3 to 6.0 trans

[bamo135]

The 4l60E is what is used in camaros correct? So i think i,m okay with it especially if i had some work done to it. I,m gonna assume (ha ha) that i can just get the v8 1500 engine mounts and bolt the engine in?
I guess id need a v8 radiator/hoses. Ill use an after market intake maybe for an SS model if any are available.
I would like to use the factory exhaust manifolds. Then maybe get the exhaust, headers to cats from a junkyard 5.3 1500 and an aftermarket cat back system. Now ive been reading the factory ac comp hits the frame rail. Is this true in the newer body styles? Whats the soulotion? Any thoughs am i on the right track?

Wrong. The right side engine mount will mork fine from a 5.4 or 4.8. The 6.0 wounts will not work on either side. In the left side of the engine, you have to take the lower v6 mount and use the upper 5,3 4,8 mount. I believe if you get the engine mounts right and the engine sitting in there correctly you wont have a prob with the a/c, but you need to get and a/c system from any v8 motor. The tranny will work, for a little bit with no abuse, but it will not bolt right up. There are going to be gaps on both sides of the housing. Check of the v8 conversion threads. There are plenty of 6.0 swaps threads.
