Default Difference between Fbody and Corvette LS1

I'm about to throw a corvette LS1 into my trans am. What the hell are the differences? I have already found out the crank pullys are different, and I have fixed that. Anything else I will run into? What are all the differences as far as installation is concerned?

More than two hours? That time of the month? What the **** would you do if you were installing it and finding differences that hadn't been mentioned to you before? I am in Dallas on leave to fix this ****, and if it doesn't get fixed, it sits here longer. It's very frusterating and I especially don't need that last kid just looking for an excuse to use that picture, which was old news 5 years ago. Let's get something original if we are going to be an *******, OK?

You're not going to get alot of help around here with that kind of attitude and no patience.

JRP summed it up well though.

Did you read my post?

Time restrictions.... if I wait patiently.... I get no engine when my leave ends.

Now, by bumping it up there I received the response I needed. Close this thread because we both know I will argue with God if he posts in this thread because of how frusterated I am right now w/ this engine.

DUDE, you have some major issues, and they are NOT with your car. How are YOUR time restrictions our problem?????? Why don't you do a little more research before you start your project?

Go **** yourself, and your engine install too!!

Most of the major differences are; none of the front accessories are going to line up, you will need an A/C compressor, alt bracket, ps bracket, etc. and balancer pulley from an fbody. The motor mounts are different, as is the oil pan (corvette has windage trays, fbody is more like a traditional pan), throttle body on the vette is fly-by-wire, fbody is cable operated. Also, the exhaust manifolds are going to be different. Other than that the other changes are not worth worrying about; slightly different cam specs and +/- injector size depending on year.
