Headers will bolt up just fine. They'll be about 3/8" higher up than using a non-truck engine. Shouldn't be a problem as you're most likely fabricating from the collector back anyways. Intake and distributor will be a problem, unless you're using the originals. They make spacer plates so you can adapt a standard intake and they also make distributors for the truck blocks.
