I just got my LB7 back from the machine shop. I have the complete 2002 donor truck and most people are telling me to just put my '68 body on the '02 chassis. This is a 4x4. I really love how clean you swap looks on the factory frame with the factory radiator support. This is direction id rather go. Can you please give some tips on engine mounts, and cross members? How did you decide on how far forward and back to place the engine and how high or low? Is the radiator support in the factory location? i apologize if you've already answered these questions.
