LS3 Crate into a 93-97 F-Body
Okay guys I have a couple of questions and was hoping you guys can help me out. I have a 95 TA with a 383 LT1 and I am looking at swapping out the motor for a LS3 crate motor that I plan on buying from one of our vendors here.
The question I have is when you buy the crate motor it already has all the front acc's already on it so will this drop in an F-body with no problem? Also after reading Merv's install I cant understand why he had to run a corvette filter and regulator. I already have Lonnies bracket and a Walbro FP. I wanted to run the same setup and simply run a Areomotive FPR instead.
Setup will be as followed;
LS3 crate motor (looking at another cam possibly MAST)
Umi K-member
Kooks long Tube Headers (Have)
Kooks Dual Exhaust (Have)
Wiring Harness (Going to talk to Mike over at EFI Connections and see if he can make me one)
Thanks in advance for any input. I'm currently deployed but plan to have this finished up before I redeploy so I can ship it to Germany. (Tired of these Audi's and BMW's ruling the road)

Were you planning on running aftermarket rails or stock? If stock, and you dont need a boosted signal or adjustability, the Corvette setup may be easier as you only have to run one light to the engine.
