Default LS3 Crates

They for sale yet? You think they'll drop right in a LS1 F Body?

The motor uses a new ECM that hasn't been cracked yet in order to use the VVT and AFM. The AFM I wouldn't want (wouldn't it sound like a 4-banger, but a beefy one, when cruising? I need to hear it first), but the VVT could be a large part of why they make good power, even untuned.

So no, to both. Just use an L92, it's what you'd wind up with by the time you get it in the F-body.

Motor and tranny mounts would be the same, it's still an LSx. Well, unless I missed something big?

An LSx is an LSx, be it gen III or gen IV. Stuff like that should bolt up. But I've only seen an L92 -- I think LS3 is the same block though.
