Decide which transmission handles your torque and how it will be controlled, then plan the crossmember, driveshaft length and flexplate or bellhousing to match. - Accessories & cooling Well sourced
Decide one accessory drive spacing, and match the balancer, water pump and brackets to it. Then check fan, hose and hood clearance. - Exhaust Partly sourced
Decide headers or manifolds that clear the steering, frame and starter where your mounts put the engine.
