5.3 swap
so i bought an 01 5.3 to go into my 99 z28. the ls1 spun a bearing.. so i bought the 5.3 to replace the ls1. im 99% sure the truck engine was an automatic. tell me if im correct, but to swap the 5.3 into my 6 speed z28 all i need to switch over the flywheel and pressure plate etc onto the 5.3 right and shouldnt have issues? please let me know, thanks!

I don't think that's even an option here, as the truck intake is too tall to fit in an F body.

If you have a block that was used in front of an auto trans, you might need a pilot shaft bearing that goes into the end of the crank.
Yes, you'll need to use the car oil pan, intake manifold, and accessories.
