I did some test fitting today after work. It looks like a real nice fit. I think I can utilize the factory motor mount pads on the frame. I can probably adapt a set of stock 4.3 motor mounts to work but I question the reliability of them. Every set I've ever pulled off have been broken.

A few issuses I will have to deal with are the fuel and brake lines running down the frame rail. I will probably move them to the outside of the frame for safe clearance of the exhuast. It looks like I can use the stock manifolds for now. I will eventually upgrade to headers when money permits. The only other challenge I see right now with fitment is my power steering lines will have to make a loop straight up and back down to the box because the pump sits directly over the box. I may still install a scout box If I can figure out which one I need. I've got about 1 1/2" of clearance above the tranny and about 2" at the distributor. I will have to cut the core support some to clear the radiator and Taurus fan I will be running. I'm thinking about runnig a corvette radiator and a s10 shroud. It should keep things nice and cool even on really hot days. I've got a Taurus fan on my '90 s10 DD behind the stock shroud and it never gets above 195*
