Default Vortech V3

Has anyone used this head unit on an LS1, or more importantly will it even fit? I like the Vortech kit but was always turned off by having to tap the oil pan. Tried numerous searches back about a year and can't find any threads on this head unit.

Pretty sure it's the same size / mount of the V1/V2 as far as the si-trim/t-trim v3 go.

It is. I'm running a t-trim v3 on a c5 as are 100's of others.

Does anyone sell a tuner kit with a V3 head unit for an F-body? The kits I've seen are only for Vettes and Mustangs.
