Default LS swap. Will it fit?

I am looking to do either an LS1, LQ4, or LQ9 swap in my 69 small block and was wondering if anyone had any success fitting it under the small block hood?

Thanks

A lot of these projects are under way. Spend a bit of time reading down through the thread titles and you'll see several on the first or second page. On top of that use an advanced search and you'll get pages and pages of LS swaps.

mark6669 - awesome man! just what i needed to know. Did you need any special motor mounts other than the usual ones people use to swap into a vette or did she just fit right in there?
