What kind of motor mounts are you looking at?

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

i got the motor mounts from trans adapt, they were like a 100 bucks or so....i wouldn't use them again, the holes didn't match up the way they was suppose to, i had to drill them out some

waiting on my harness and ecu to get back, going to be swapping in some 4.56 gears, got the engine bay painted and the frame painted...waiting on my filter from summit and front gears

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

after reading this post again, i just wanted to clear something up, i didn't get the mounts from trans adapt, i got them from summit, i did get my adapter from my 4l60 to my 208 from them, and those guys are awesome....everytime i had a question for them they was right there to help me....the motor mounts i got from summit...i didn't like them, they didn't line up right and i had to fab them up some.

Any particular reason you have your valve covers on opposite sides?

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

There's a hose that comes off the middle top of the intake that goes to the pcv valve at the rear of the drivers side valve cover. I can see it in your last pic, was wondering what you had it hooked to.

Edit- I don't know why it double posted my question, my phone was messsing up so I got off line and back on and it double posted it.

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Heck I'm going out now to look at it, I thought everything went into place

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

so the biggest reason i didnt know my mistake was due to everything plugged in near to where it was suppose to go...either way I'm fixing it in the morning, just took a shower so not going to get dirty...plus i have other stuff i need to do tomorrow since my harness will be here
