Ok so I got this ls motor and im in the process of pulling the 4.3 and I was wondering will the brackets for a standard 4.3L 4x4 to SBC conversion kit work with a 5.3L. I've been searching all over the web to find some brackets or any any one who has even done it before and theres nada, nothing,zilch. Theres alot of ls1 in 2wd S10's but I just cant seem to find anything for the 4wd guys out there

You either have to get them custom made, or trust someone enough to do a good job of welding an extra 1 - 2" or so on the front of each 2wd mount, and putting the slots in to make it a 4x4 mount...

And also, the oil pan is probably going to be a PITA.

You found 4x4 mounts + oil pan? you get a shop to do it custom, or found a place online for it?
