I'm thinking of buying a 1999 Camaro LS1 motor ( which has been built substantially) from a friend. I own a 2001 Formula. My question is ..... will this motor plug in to all my electronics and components ( computer, fuel etc,) or will I have some modifying to do to make this swap work ? Thanks.

yup definetly a tune will be in order but it should be a strait bolt in, if you have a manual consider a aftermarket clutch if you dont have one. If this new engine has alot of power then your stock one will slip under launches.
If anything is different it will be the fuel lines, If I am not mistakin early LS1s had two fuel lines, and later had 1, if you run into this problem you can swap fuel rails from your old engine to the new one and will solve the problem
