Default Need Info for 2000 V6 Camaro LS1 Swap??

I have a 2000 V6 Camaro that I want to swap an LS6 into. I originally got the motor to swap into my 91 Firebird...but my 17 year old found out about it...now he is asking me to put it into his 2000 Camaro...that I used as my DD...I don't blame him.

I do my own wrenching, but I need to know what is involved with this swap...the motor and PCM are 2001. I am assuming that the Auto transmission in the V6 Bird is still a 4L60E...does it have the same bell housing bolt pattern as the LS1???

I need as much info as possible for this.

Thanks

All the info you need is in the following links. Just remember that you have a 2000 and that 1999-2002 are virtually identical from the heads forward. If you can, find a low mileage donor car of the same year as your target car:

Unfortunately the V6 transmission can not be used. The bell housing, input shaft, and pump stator are different. Perhaps somebody else here can say whether or not a stock LS1 4L60E will bolt up to an LS6?
