to everybody, don't forget to look at Novak Adapter's website, it's awesome and a wealth of info about 4x4 LSx swaps. Just don't fall into the trap about needing their expensive stuff.

I do want to update ya'll on this swap though. The 4.8/6.0L flywheel has poor threads for the 3/8 shoulder bolts for the pressure plate, they sit back in the flywheel itself and not on the meaty thick spacer part (sorry, you would have to be holding one to see

). Every bolt set I found was 1" and this just didn't cut it on my flywheel, not enough bite. I had to order a set of Grade 9, 3/8 x 1.5" bolts from Mcmaster-carr.
