got a 98 stock z w/blown motor and bought a 6 liter to put in it. when i pulled the intake off the 6.0 it has no knock sensors in the valley, so im asking what do ya do if you are swapping longblocks?

 

What year/model is the 6.0L out of? If it is out of a 1999-2006 it should have the knock sensor in the valley. As for swapping long blocks, the only things needed for the swap are:

1. Drill & Tap boss for alternator
2. Swap flexplate for F-Body flexplate/flywheel

That should be it, as everything else will bolt-on. Since you have a 1998, I would highly suggest that you swap in an LS6 intake now, while you can. That 6.0L is going to need it, or at least put it to very good use.

 

did you pull the 2 black rubber covers off that the wires run into?

 

thanks guys for the replies but checked the motor today and it has to be rebuilt anyway so im gonna sell and build the 346 back due to weight of iron block.
