LS1 into a c3 corvette

**josephgould1969** · 01-31-2008, 04:55 AM

I am looking for some advice from anyone that has installed an LS6 into a C3 corvette. I have a chance to buy a 5.3 with the comp and wiring harness I know that some things need to be deleted, ant the comp will need flashing, and I will need to pick up a new intake for a car, but how ez is it to put in? Is there any mods that need to be done to the engine mounts? and will it bolt up to a 400 turbo tranny? thank you barry

There are multiplae swap threads (here and on the web)

But I do not believe I have ever seen one put in a C3, that sounds like a great project!

ive seen a few ls1's in c3's they fit really well and yes they will bolt to your th400. matter of fact i know a guy who drag races a 2000 camaro and runs a th400. i would say the hardest thing would be getting the computer tuned the way you need it
