I have stumbled upon a smoking deal on a 5.3/4l60e combo. Question is what all would I need to do a swap into an already fuel injected 1987 silverado?

More of the stuff than wires though.

Send the 5.3 harness to 250tune.com, or Howell engine development, they will convert it to a stand alone for your truck. Use Holley adapter plates for the motor mounts. Fuel tank mods, or new tank w/pump. 9/16" wrench.

sloppymechanics.com....all kinds of 5.3 swap info without all the bs of big name manufacturers stuff you "have" to buy....lt1swap.com has the info on converting your own harness as well...it's really easy.
