Good question. If your are talking about the 4th gen cars I think the engine compatments are all the same. Even though I already have an LS1 car I'm still curious as to what and what will not interchange.

You are right. Did a V6 to LT1 to LS2 Swap and it fit right in, the engine compartment is pretty much the same on those years. Right now my builder is in the process of installing my OFI turbo kit, that is as soon as the kit comes in that is.
