L33 into a F-body
L33 into a F-body Not really sure where to post this so feel free to move it mods.
I blew the rings in my 95 Z. M6 car. Looks like $5600 (outta the price) to rebuild the motor. I was considering throwing in a 5.3, and came across a L33 with a great price. Anything drastically different on these motors since they were sideways in the car? Would it be just as simple of a swap as a truck's 5.3? Please let me know ASAP

You should also really research all of the details of the swap, there are a lot of both big and small details that can really nickle and dime you to death on a project like this. You may be better off buying a complete LS1 f body that has either been wrecked or is just in really bad shape and swapping everything to your car.

Take the accessory's, intake, and pan off your ls1 and I would think it should bolt it. Dont quote me on this, but I believe if you have both a complete ls1, and your l33 long block you will be able to take everything off your ls1, and bolt it in your car no problem.
They are both gen 3 motors, with the same bolt patterns.

Look for a 99-02 F-body full pull out with k- member and rack and pinion. You will need to get the vats removed from the ls1 computer and also set the computer to run the Lt1 tach. You will also need to re pin the ls1 harness and extend a couple wires. You will need a corvette filter/regulator combo.
