    i used the edelbrock kit, it comes with the intake manifold, msd box, and wiring harness, and throttle cable brackets

    the th350 trans will bolt up to the 5.3 but 1 bolt hole will not be used(no big deal), and you will need a crankshaft adapter for the th350 converter, these can be purchased from summit racing for $40 hup-hp3795 made by hughes performance

    the converter bolt holes in the flex plate will need to be ovaled out a bit with a dremmel or carbide grinder bit to make the holes match the early converter bolt pattern, you could buy a aftermarket flex plate with dual patterns but they are still kind of expensive and so far mine is holding up just fine
