get all the hard things out of the way first, things that in your head you said Im going to put off till later. GET THOSE OUT OF THE WAY NOW

I say this because Im 98% done with my cummins swap and Im pretty much sick of working on the damn thing, and the only things I have left are the PITA things that make it that much more annoying

I just finished mine. You can see most of it on my FB link below.

I own a fab shop, and saw problems with most of the mounts offered, so I developed my own. I can certainly hook you up with a set.

Hooker headers and a 2010 Camaro waterpump are must haves. They make stuff fit like it was made that way. I used these, my mounts and a trans cross-member I designed. I can almost spit out part numbers for the hoses and belts. My setup retains the low mount A/C and uses a modified truck accessory bracket. You can use your existing radiator. Your power steering hoses will hook up to the LS truck pump. You will need a longer driveshaft. Go find my Introduction post and you can see it all.
