The LT1 k-member will 100% bolt right up to the chassis of the vehicle but the motor mounts will be different so if you are using a LS motor it will not work for you.

i have 2000 z28 with no motor, considering placing old small block in it to mess around with at the track. I wonder if someone makes mounts to put the old small block in the car ?

Body molds did not change. All parts body mounted parts interchange. But you need the matching k member engine combo for the motor mounts to work.

Check with whoever made your K-member. Most make conversion kits or can direct you to someone that does.

You can install a SBC with this:

One minor consideration (or major depending on your intended use for the car) is how close the air cleaner will fit vs the windshield wiper/cowl area.
