Default LS6 into LS1 Fbody???

I've got an cam'd LS6 from my 01 Z06 (that's received a forged motor + TTix) that I can buy back for a great deal...wanted to swap it into my 98 A4 Trans Am.

What all would be required in this swap? Anything extra than my stock components? All my LS1 accessories work with the LS6?

The Z laid down 410whp (with cats) through the M12 with that set up, I'd be getting some LTs/ORY for the TA...through the A4, could I expect 375whp?

BTW, before anyone suggests going H/C and saving money...I'm getting my old motor VERY cheap, I could sell my LS1 and probably have a couple hundred dollars left over.

Unbolt all Acessories and unplug all Sensors, switch the Temp Sensor, and you are good.

About as easy a swap as you will find.

Exterior dimensions are all the same, its a direct bolt in. Only difference is you won't have an EGR port on the intake manifold for the EGR valve/hose to go to, so just delete it all together

Can't even really call that a swap, it's the same motor.
