MI Wanted: 8.1L engine parts

[Blue85]

Will replace 6.0 in 2003 Suburban 2500. May end up purchasing a donor truck to have all the bits and pieces, but will also look for deals on engine by itself.

Are you trying to blow up that rear D60 now?

I've found an engine, so now I'll start listing parts I need

-power steering pump dipstick (found)
-motor mounts. IIRC, Duramax and 8.1L share frame side mount in trucks.
-engine dipstick tube. Dipstick I have seems OK, but the tube rusted through. Some places show 6.0 and 8.1L use the same tube. True?
-SUV 8.1l radiator and mounts.
-Fan shroud?
-Power steering pump reservoir (found)

I have an extra dipstick. I’ll grab a picture shortly.

I've been acquiring a lot of parts, but no lead on an OEM engine oil dipstick tube yet. I've heard the Dorman one is prone to breaking.
