Re: Finally starting my 5.3 swap!!

Well made some progress today...put the cab bolts back in..just have to tighten the ones by the front bumper. Also put in the converter bolts so now when I start it the metal on metal sound is gone. Should have my driveshaft back in a day or two.
I am stuck on a few things though. First my b&m shifter...I need to change something inside to make it work with the 4l60 but I have no idea what it is. Also how do I hook up the linkage to the transmission?

Second I still figure how to mount the stupid fuse block. The only place I can mount it because the wiring is short is on the inner fender well. What can I use to mount it without messing up the wiring? I have to drill a hole in the firewall to run some wires in. where's the best place to drill without hitting something?

Last thing is my fan shroud wont fit cuz the motor is closer to the rad now. Can I run the clutch fan without a shroud? I figured its not a big deal since both my Datsuns run without em and they have no overheating issues...and they're both in the Caribbean where its way hotter than here.
