The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network - View Single Post - Successful 5.3l Engine Swap thanks to CPP

Well the entire setup cost me around $315 and some change. Rubber Motor mounts and plates, motor perches, transmission crossmember, and polyurethane trans mount. I got a smoking deal on everything because I drove down there and talked with the founder of CPP Jim, and he hooked me up for my troubles. The new motor perches are $159.99. That's really steep. I can safely say that I would have gone a different route with mounting the motor because there are much cheaper options, but I would definitely buy another trans tubular crossmember. That was the easiest part of this entire swap
