With my swap I used a 2003 Tahoe two wheel drive 5.3 with 4L60E. I used the original c10 V8 motor mount perches and motor mounts and mounted them in the 6-cylinder mount frame/crossmember location (had to drill a hole in the crossmember for the lower mounting bolts). I used the LS Swap Motor Mounts Adapter Plates that allowed me enough adjustability to use the Tahoe drive shaft. I swapped out the rear U-joint to a 1310 to 1344 combination U-joint. I have approximately 3/4" trans to yoke play. A lot cheaper than having a new drive shaft made.
