5.3 swap questions

Just wondering if i can use the stock acessories from a 5.3 with it being a truck motor. It's going to be a carb.

Re: 5.3 swap questions

very common question for this. if you are using your stock hood, they will not work. alternator sits too high. you need to switch to the f-body accessories.
