Good Advice on 5.3 Swap Into Lifted 69 Longbox

[mi396ss]

I know there have been alot of posts on here about the 5.3L swap but very few have to do with swapping them into 4x4s. I'd like to talk to someone who has done this and has had good (or bad) experiences with the conversion and is willing to give good advice. I have a lifted 69 long box with 36" tires, 400 sb, and 4 speed trans. I just bought a 2000 z71 with a 5.3 in it that I want to put in the 69. The truck is totally complete so I have everything. I guess what I'd like to talk to someone about are things like fuel delivery, what tranny I can use, motor mounts, etc. I've read through alot of the posts here and there are many options and even more opinions so I'd like to talk to someone who has gone through it. Thanks, John.

Lots of answers in the link in my signature. I am working on a 5.3 4L60 NP205 swap into my stock height Jimmy. There are issues but I have addressed some of them in a few of the posts in that link. If after some reading you have more specific questions I and I am sure others will be happy to see if we can help.

Thealien, that sounds great, thank you. I would still like to find someone out there who has done a swap just like mine, with the lift and everything else. I see in some of your posts that you mention things wouldn't work for you but might work if the truck had a lift on it. I will definitely be in touch with you when I get started. Thanks, John.
