Start with one of these... http://www.speedwaymotors.com/B-B-CHEVY-SET-UP-ENGINE,7441.html
It will help more than you know..
Use a front and mid plate so you can run a set of headers..

Header Specs:

This header is designed for any tube size up to 2 ½” with any collector size up to 5” or our collector mufflers up to a 6” size. Three tubes on each side go around the frame. The position of the engine is important for proper fit. This design requires motor plates and a rack and pinion steering. Attached is a diagram showing the required engine location. The steering column will have to be lowered where it comes through the fire wall. The back side of the “K” member will have to be notched for the oil pan sump. This is a very complex engine swap.
This header was designed using a Tilton starter. Oil pan room is limited on the passenger side to 2 ½” at the bottom of the pan only, on the driver side we have 3 ½” of room top to bottom. Spark plug access is very good you can get a socket on all plugs.
This header is intended for race cars only it will not fit air conditioning, power brake booster or column shifter linkage etc. Skinny drag race type front tires are needed for maximum turning radius.
Header Installation:

Passenger side: install the #2 tube from below with the starter out. Before bolting the tube in place reinstall the starter. This is the only tube inside the frame on this side. Next install #6 then #4 then #8. Only snug the header bolts don’t tighten them until the collector is installed then go back and tighten all the header bolts.
Driver side: Install #1 tube from below this is the only tube on this side inside the frame. Next install #5, then #3, then #7, then the collector.
Refer to our header installation tip’s page for additional information.

Cool nice truck

[Diabolical]

Thats going to look good!!

[j$money]

got a quote on the paint job as well

going w/ cocaine white(bright white on top of a clear base coat w/ metallic flakes) w/ galaxy black flakes added

either flat black(w/ not flakes) or jet black w/ metallic and white flakes ZL1 ss stripes down each side like on the car below
http://www.montanachevy.com/inventory/used/camaro/1.jpg

and the whole truck will have a pearl clear to really make the paint stand out

[Diabolical]

I think you will stand out quite well with that color!!
Hope the cops dont see ya ;)

[85cam]

there has to be a cheaper alternative for us doing big blocks

Wonder how intensive it woul dbe to get flanges and a shit load of mandrel bends, tape them up and have Mike weld them up?

[Diabolical]

I have an extra frame and a spare bb..
It could be done ;)

i asked a local guy that does welding for rock crawler chassis for a quote on welding me a set and he said dont even think about asking him, and assured me the price would hurt my feelings

[Diabolical]

Well,
I have a full fabrication shop and I have already built a pair..
I am sure I could do it in the 500 to 600 dollar range..
And that would be only because of the time invested in building them.

Here is the first set for my BB truck
