what exactly are you trying to ask? the ls6 and ls1 blocks are basically the same. you may have to drill and tap some holes for the accessories, but they will all fit in. $5000 seems like a hell of a lot of money to spend on a ls6 tho.

LS6 and LS1 blocks are the same externally, In fact you might even have one in your '01, I know some '02s did.(Blocks that is, not the LS6 internals) Everything should bolt up.

You can buy an LS6 Service crate engine for 5289, with a Camaro pan from SPDC and others. $5000 is not much of a deal, unless he can transfer the warranty to you as well.

Is it a LS6, or is it from a C6? C6's have the LS2, not the LS6.

whoa i totally misread (saw C6, read LS6). for an ls2, i *think* all accessories will bolt up. the price becomes better, too .

edit: actually, i read both, looking at the title again...

I can change the thread title when STEALTH01 comes back and confirms what it is that he wants to do. Is it an LS2 from a C6 or an LS6 from an '01-04 C5 Z06?
