Re: L96 6.0 swap into 72 longhorn. some questions

I used the Hooker Blackheart engine stands (with F-body mounts) and cross member. Puts the engine down low which preserves driveline angles and allows the stock low mount compressor to work without modifying anything. May need to clearance frame slightly for ps pump (because engine sits low). I’m using an in tank pump and retaining my in cab tank. I mounted the ecu on the fender behind the inner turn down…cannot see it unless you are searching for it. I used the TBSS manifolds…no clearance issues. I believe your trans will require a high hump tunnel. The 4l60e I used cleared the low hump by about 3/8”.

I asked many of the same types of questions you are asking. My advice read, read, and read some more. Most answers are out there.
