The aftermarket has a ton of stuff to make an LS powerplant fit into almost anything. It took a lot of reading, and shopping, but for what I used, the engine dropped in beautifully, almost as though it was made for it.
Heres what I used to put it together and drop it in:
Flexplate Bolts - ARP (ARP-244-2901) - Flexplate to Crank Bolts
Bellhousing - Summit (SUM-HK-M10C40) - Bellhousing to Block Bolts
So far the fitment is good, however there are a few concerns to be addressed:
1. The Oil pan hangs 2 inches down below the crossmember. Once I see where the ride height sits, it may be an issue
2. For anyone that purchases a takeout motor from salvage, on the drivers side of the block there may be a blockheater. With the adapter plates I used this is an issue. The blockheater needs to be removed, and GM Block Plug (11609289) MUST be used in its place.
MORE TO COME......

Thanx.... Currently here there are no emissions rules here, at this point I still plan to put cats on it, unless plans change. I'm sure someday the rules here will change
