Motor mounts make a difference on what headers or manifolds fit well. A lot of guys like the TRAILBLAZER SS manifolds. Try over in the LS swap section.

I bought these.

Worked like a champ.

I think you can get them plain, painted, or ceramic coated......

I went with speed engineering motor mounts and headers.

I used a set from a 2010 Camaro. Fit great and looks stock.

I got the same set for my 72 Jimmy 4x4.

I assume you're installing an automatic. On the off-chance you're using an external hydraulic slave on a manual(maybe a mechanical clutch as well), you'll need a 98-02 f-body manifold on the driver's side. That's per my research. I don't have it fully assembled yet myself.
