Default Engine swap ?

Any advice on whether I can take the entire engine out of a 99 Z-28 and put in a 99 SS without any complications? More specifically, will there be a wire harness or computer issue? Please share what you know. Thanks! The only thing I can think of is the LS6 intake on the 01.

It's the same engine. Why would you want to swap it into your Z28?

I am buying the 99 SS with high miles. I have a motor with low miles out of a 01 Z28. Just didn't want to run into any incompatibilities along the way.

99% the same engine except for the LS6 intake and a few small things

99 has EGR and 01 does not so thats one difference right there. You could always hook up the 99 harness to the 01 motor, add the EGR or delete it with tuning and call it good.
