I just finished a 5.3 swap into a 71 chevelle.

Holley is the goto for getting it to fit. I used their engine mounts and oil pan. Fitment is perfect with a set of 2000 camaro z28 stock exhaust manifolds and a $30 dorman ps pulley. i used the holley pan and have zero fitment issues. I have the smaller amp alternator and it clears the hood fine. I am running the truck intake but there is no room for the plastic cover to fit on it.
Let me know if you have other questions, i can help out.
