Can the LS7 also be dropped into a C5?

Did you want to swap parts from a C5 to a C6?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say seats,wheels,shifter,shocks,clutch, and motor. But I'm sure those are pretty obvious.

The C6 has a slightly longer wheelbase... so I'm not sure if the torque-tube is different.

The 04 C5 and C6 LS2 share some parts. Like the t-stat, I think the fuel system, and I think the timing chain and probably some other designs as well.
People put the C6 Z06 shocks on the C5 as well.

I heard the Seats NO. Because of the seat tracks and the side air bags.

The Performance Hood Seal. Though it may need to be trimmed a tad

Actually, I have C6 Z shocks and from what I understand... a lot of the C6 susp. parts even have the same part # as the C5.
