I am curious for future plans if you are able to use any LS7 parts(i.e. intake manifold, heads, etc) on the LS1 platform, I am aware that the LS7 clutch and flywheel are compatible, but are there any engine parts that are compatible?

the clips that hold the injectors to the rail

everything will fit as long as the LS1 block has been knocked out to a 4.1 bore or bigger. If not, then everything except for the top end.

As mentioned, with a 4.100" bore or larger, LS7 heads will bolt up, and since the heads bolt up, then obviously so do the intake, fuel rail, valves, springs, rockers, etc... The passenger side valve cover needs to be modified to clear the LS7 rockers. You need longer pushrods if using LS7 heads on an LS1/6 block, mine came out to 7.750" long.

i apologize for not being more clear i meant what parts would bolt up without doing internal work like what you guys have discussed, i guess i got my answer as in nothing will, just curious if i had any options thru bolt-on parts, guess not, i guess the clutch is it

i also was curious about this but more along the LS2 aspect of things.

I guess my question is about the ls2 heads and intake. are they better then ls6 parts? and wil the ls2 parts bolt up without modification like the way ls6 parts bolt up?

thx im a noob to the ls2 stuff

LS6 and LS2 heads are both 243 castings. The LS6 heads have lightweight valves though. and for the intakes, the LS6 is better, but the LS2 will bolt up.

Quick question. Will a stock LS7 intake fit a 2001 LS1, if so will I see any improvements? The reason I ask is because a friend of mine is selling me his LS7 intake really cheap, he is going to an alloy intake. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

no, you will need ls7 heads also, but thats not all, in order to use ls7 heads you would need more cubes. not worth it in my opinion unless you are gettin a bigger bore shortblock or something. hope that helped.

Hey folks is it possible to bolt a Fast lxr ls7 intake part # 146202b to a 5.3 ive searched several sites and all seem to offer adapters/spacers but they all say will not work with raised port ls7 intakes. Any help/info is very much appreciated thanks in advance!

Short answer is no.

Anything can be done with enough time and money. But compared to selling the ls7 fat and buying a ls1 fast, it falls into the - not worth it - column

I'm debating wether to pull the accessories and everything that makes sense to re-use on a 2011 L96 motor but then I'm wondering if it will be more difficult then to sell an LS1 with all that stuff removed? What do most people typically do when dropping a motor into their Fbody that already has an LS1 that is perfectly fine? Source the parts needed for the conversion and sell their existing LS1 as a whole? Part out? Pull what they can off the LS1 and sell it as a long block less the parts? What is he best way to come out ahead? My LS1 has aftermarket heads, cam, pistons, intake, etc so the value is higher than stock obviously.
