    I would think you need to modify your k-member and headers would have to be custom made

    good luck with the swap . . . but imo its not worth it unless your gonna makin a hard core drag car is the car a v6 orginally? i think you would have so much more money in buildin a bb to equal ls series sb. not to mention worse mpg and heavier.

    I guess if a total frag car is what youre going for and have the BB already thats cool. Ive seen LS1 cars put down close to that and still be driven like a stock car off the showroom car. But to each his own. Good luck.
