Looking to swap a ls2 in place of my 5.3 Monte. Can it be done? I have a ls2 out of a 06 Trailblazer SS. If not it will be going in my 81 Monte.

The crank shaft is 1/2" shorter and the accessory drive is more compact, doubt it will fit w/o major surgery!

unlikely... unless you want to do a rwd conversion also. the tranny bolt pattern on the ls4 is different. basically a v6 flange welded on. itll end up being too wide or needing custom parts.

boring, resleeving, and stroking the ls4 would be quite a project too. 4 inch bore would be nice.

Thanks for the input, was just wondering if it would fit. Wanted to try something different, it will be going in the 81 MC.

They have put a ls1 in a older grand prix, they pust 3.8sc engines in sunfires, so it can be done. Just can you do it and it it worth it.
