Tuning in. I'm also attempting the 5.3 swap. Looking good so far, hopefully we can collaborate on here a little bit. 
I wanted to use the truck accessories too, but they are humongous aren't they? Let me know if the alternator fits the sc at that location. I tested the truck intake manifold in my sc400 and there's absolutely no way--without a custom cross member lol.

Well I finally decided it was time to take the Lexus out of commission it was a little bit more of a headache then I had planned but in the process we came up with some ideas on stuff like keeping the factory shifter with the th400 and maybe fabbing up a tubular cross member that will get rid of the one closest to the firewall and give me plenty if room for the f-body oil pan
