Re: 5.3 LM7 into 77 K-5 2wd
Hello,
I used Car Shop CSP2370 plates. These place the LS engine bellhousing flange in the same position as SBC. Then you could use a stock 700R4 crossmember and driveshaft, if you can find one for a 2WD K5.
Most, if not all, conversion headers are designed around this type of swap mount, the 1" setback type. Patriot exhaust (find them on Amazon and ebay) makes affordable LS swap headers.
Power steering is easy. If you are using truck accessories, they use a typical Saginaw pump. I believe your 77 would have a standard thread box and pump. You can take the fitting on the back of the pump that the pressure line connects too, and thread in into the back of the LS truck pump. Lines will swap right over then.
Anything else let me know.
