Default Anyone put an LS1 in a C4???

I have a 94 Vette with the same 4L60-E as the LS1 cars, so I'd think it would bolt up fine. But as far as fitment goes, I'm not sure. Who has done something like this?? I'm caught b/t a rock and a hard place. I want an LS1 car, but I'd hate to give up my C4 style. Getting the motor and all wouldn't be a problem, I just wanna hear from someone who has done it and if there's anything I need to know. Thanks :cheers:

Mayeb you could fit an F-body LS1 but you'd have to make more changes to a corvette LS1 I think. WHy would you want it though? Unless your engine is blown and u need a replacement I wouldn't bother for the extra 45HP just add bolt ons and be a lot cheaper and less headaches.

It was supposed to be a major headache. For example, different motor mount positions.
It can be done but its not easy. Much easier and cheaper to upgrade what you have.
