Default Ls 5.3 swap

Hey everybody! I'm looking for people that have done this swap. I'm in the middle of the install and I didn't buy anybody's kit due to the cost and my budget!! I do have most of the fab work done and electrical. But I have a few questions on some wiring and some measurements. Any help would be great. And I'll post some pics tomorrow.

Your not going to get many if anyone that have done this swap themselves. Good luck to you and let us know how it goes and some tips and tricks so we can possibly do it ourselves.

I'm looking for anybody at all that has done this kit or no kit. Also maybe somebody that knows the wiring on the jk better than me. I am going to try to take lots of pics and keep it updated for sure!
