    all the belt drive acc will need to be from the 5.3, i dont think anything will swap from the 4.3....maybe the power steering, but thats prob the only thing, the alt, ac/compressor i know for a fact are different

    The alt is different? or just the bracket can i get the 5.3 bracket and use my alt?

    Also most of the harnesses i see only have 2 connections to go to the pcm is that how it should be and the rest of the pcm connections come from the body? Cause i know my 99-02 has 4 pcm connections and i believe the 03+ only had 2.

    no sure on the alt,

    the pcm should have 2 connections, a red and a blue plug, should be the same as the v6 one, the 03 and up will have two plugs too but the will be blue and green

    The cable throttle body will work with your 99, but the DBW is a PITA to swap

    Check my threads. Sometimes the junk yards dont know the diff between a 4wd frame mount and 2wd v8 mount. Ask me how I know lol

    Gotta another question.

    I have a 99 nbs. If i use a 03+ motor what will have to be swapped? a 99-02 intake manifold and throttle body?

    Cause i have dbc i believe. so the 03+ would be dbw. I need to know what i will need from a 99-02 motor to use it.

    6 to 8 will require all that stuff be swapped anyway.

    Either way you'll need mounts, headers, harness, engine, accessories, PCM.
