5.3 into a 86 K5 ( Need Help )

[bulldog327]

Hey Guys,

I did a little research but was wanting to know if you guys could lead me in the right direction for what i will need to make this swap work.

I currently have a 305 with a 700R4 and it is 4x4.

I have the complete 5.3, but i need to know about oilpan clearance, motor mounts for 4x4 and what kinda flywheel? What headers will fit?

If any one has done this swap and has a parts list that would be freakin' awesome!!!!

Thanks for your help!

Brent

There are several post on the same thing on here and you'll just have to search a little bit. As for engine mounts check advance adapters for plates or you can fab up some engine mounts. I think Petersons 4 wheel and offroad did a few articles covering these swaps as well that had parts list.

another guy posted this on a 6.0 swap question a few weeks ago and is helpful. Let me know how yours turns out as I'm going to do the same thing when I get some time!
