Default LS Swap to a 73 Cheyenne

I'm in the process of doing a swap. Ls1 from a 98 Camaro into a 1973 Chevy truck s/wheelbase.

Engine: LS1 from 98 Camaro, modified with LS6 heads with double springs, LS6 intake manifold, 5 pin mass air flow, twin horn air intake. comp cams kit LSR 269 277 112. Headers from Street & Performance. Taylor 10.4mm ignition wires. Aluminum motor mount plates also from S&P. Lockar throttle cable.

A/C unit: I want to have A/C its a must here in Cali. I will have to relocate it to top passenger side, will use the kit from Street & Performance

Transmition: 4L60E automatic

Differential rear end: stock for now, eventually i will use 373 gears, posi from Eaton

Exhaust: dual, headers from Street & Performance 2 1/2" collectors, Hooker aero chamber mufflers, on 2 1/2" pipes, stainless tips from Cherry Bomb

Radiator: Griffin aluminum with trans cooler, in/out water lines on passenger side. Trans cooler lines on driver side.

Gas Tank: I will be running only 1 16 gallon tank from a 87 with in tank fuel pump, reason for upgrade is for the in tank baffles so the engine wont starv.

Gauges: there from a 9o'sum

Harness: stock harness and computer, modified harness and re-tuned computer done by Wait 4 me performance.

Brakes: master cylinder from Wilwood

More to follow.....
