C5 Engine swap How hard is swapping the engine in a C5 compared to doing it with an F-Body? Also how hard is it to swap out the clutch? I can't seem to find any links on how to do either 
I was also wondering if the C5 and F-body clutches are interchangable, can my ram 910 VDS system work in a C5?

The Clutches are the same. Yes they are interchangable. The only things that aren't, are the master and slave cylinders.

ck out my avatar, you can have the motor out and the new one on the cradle in about 6/7 hours, this is after you've done a few and using a 2 post lift; also dropping out he bottom as a complete assembly allows the a/c and brake lines to remain unopened

I will just demod the camaro, swap the motors and sell the Camaro with the LS6 motor. 
I saw in another post you have the rear out from under your car, whats up with it?
