isn't that engine a direct fit into our cars? Wireing and all that crap.

I think like Mr.Luos said there'd be wiring issues. My guess is that you need a new wiring harness, i think the locations of some sensors on the gen IV ls are different, I wanna say cam sensors and crank but i'm not positive. As far as engine mounts etc, i think they go right in.

99% sure they have harness extensions so you don't need to get a whole new harness.

Isn't the LS3 a "fly by wire" type throttle set up? If so add that to the list.

This is the best part!
As we rolled towards Bowling Green and the National Corvette Museum, I reflected upon the LS3. General Motors' Generation-Three and -Four Small-Block V8s are some of the World's great engines. Don't believe it? Just ask Mercedes-Benz. When it owned Chrysler, it copied–oops–it benchmarked GM's Gen 3 Small-Block architecture then reproduced key aspects of it in its current Hemi V8.
Chrysler borrowing from that block design for V8s in its own full-sized trucks and performance cars says much about GM's engine technology. Some might be disbelieving of the Gen 3/4 block being so inspiring to a competitor but, if you ever see the two short blocks disassembled, side-by-side on a bench; the influence will be obvious. Imitation is the best form of flattery.
