Time to repower my blazer. The 350 is still good, i just want it to be a better truck. I just got the donor truck home today. It's an 01 c1500. 5.3/4L60E 2 wheel drive. I'm still in the planning stage, trying to figure out what all I'm going to need. I'm going to be setting it up so I can pass Colorado emissions, as I'm planning on moving to Denver by next summer.

Motor mounts
Convert 2 wheel drive trans to 4 wheel drive I have a 93 4L60E that will donate to the cause
Catalytic converter
Fuel system, pump on the 01 is only a couple months old so I'm going to use that
New plugs, wires and coil packs
A/C delete
New injectors
Radiator hoses
Figure out the steam line

Anything I'm forgetting? Any help will be appreciated this will be my first swap, but I hope it won't be my last. I want this to go as smoothly as possible. Any insight to CO. emissions testing will be helpful too.
