Wow, what a winter! Finally getting back to this project. Getting close to dropping in the V8. Couple more questions. Will the flexplate,TQ, and starter off the 4.3 work on the swap to the V8? Also, went with a set of 461 double humps (not drilled) with a short waterpump setup and man, I'm having a terrible time figuring out how to setup the Alt. I've bought two seperate mounting brackets and still no luck. I have the lower setup off the headers ok, but cannot figure out the top mounting. Trying to mount the alt. on the drivers side up high. Any ideas? If anyone has pics of their setup that would help a ton. Thanks for all the help! Leon
