Rob,
I bought the ECE motor mounts and trans mount last year. Not sure if they will be a straight forward setup for this combo. Will probably do a test fit on a bare frame I have and see what kind of mods I will need to do.
The motor should be here sometime next week....I hope.
Getting excited about this project, but I have a long ways to go as far as getting all the parts!

John,
I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product, let me know if you have any questions. If you use the ECE mounts you won't be able to use a FBody oil pan (it hits the front crossmember). I used a 2007 Cadillac CTsV pan, but there are several choices out there. The Doug Thorley Headers work well with those mounts also. You can check out my Suburban build thread for pictures of both.
Here's a good thread on choosing an oil pan:
