The LT1 Gen V is a different animal imo. I used the BRP swap headers and they fit perfect.

Dirty Dingo have some swap stuff for the swap specific to 63-72 c10’s.
The demand isn’t real big yet, so many items are pricey. I know of a guy that did my harness, again, pricey but he was an excellent source for info.

One huge hurdle I had was a different year of trans, that stumped a lot of tuners. We finally got that resolved tho.

I am by no means even an amateur at these swaps but, I am willing to tell you what has worked for me so far.

Btw, truck is running and driving, just doing some minor tweaks before calling it done.

Good luck!
