I'm right there with you, I've got a 5.3/4l60e and I just pulled my 383/5spd from my 67 yesterday, getting ready to start gathering swap parts like motor mounts and oil pan to put the motor in. You can keep the stock truck pan but it's going to hang 1-1/2" + or - a 1/2 inch below the crossmember.
What headers are you guys running on your 63-87 c10's? Looking for something with some decent size primaries and a nice thick flange. Was thinking of running 2-1/2 maybe at the most 3" pipe to the muffler and after. Also how is your clearence for removing spark plugs and installing/removing the bolts to the heads?
