Default What do I need? 5.3L swap into 2001 1500 4.3L V6

Alright...... my brother has a 2001 Silverado 1500 (Single Cab) 4.3L V6. It is T-5 so thats another question too.

What all would we need for the swap? We have a pullout thats ready to go but no PCM or Engine harness. Would his dash and dash harness still work and all wed need to do is get the motor mounts and engine/harness? Does the T-5 bolt up to it with same bell housing or is it different?

If anyone has this info or has done it before please let me know, wed like to take a shot at it.

Thanks
Mike

On the t5 the bellhousing will bolt up but I believe the clutch setup is diff. I know the flywheels are.
