Engine Cover Swap Question's
 
My new engine will be done this week.I am going from the Ls1 to a 6 Litre iron block. Is there anything different about these two that the cover's will not fit or just swap over. Anything Special that I need for the swap or is it just take from the old and apply it to the new . And what about the knock sensor's, do they just swap over as well. All help is appreciated, Thank's :drive:

When you say cover are you talking about valve or timing? All LSX's will practically take each others parts with no modifying. there are some instances where a tab has to be ground down. And you will run into this with the iron block. I would imagine that you are not going to be running 98 heads on the 6.0, so that would lead me to believe that you should be able to move a 99+ valve cover over to a 6.0 head 317 or an LS6 head 243. Sensors move right over as well.
