Default couple 5.3 questions...

ok so I have been just looking around and I noticed that the 5.3 vortec's are dirt cheap and make a good amount of power and have a lower Compression ratio then the LS1s. What Im wondering is, are the ls1 and 5.3 motor mounts the same?? I could get a whole motor/ tranny swapped into my camaro for less then 2 grand with all electrical etc....also, I would also be putting my turbo on it.

Yes, the motor mounts are exactly the same, the block's have exactly the same external dimentions
