Presuming you mean an LS2 or iron block equivalent, yes.

You can use your existing computer, retuned. You will need a cam sensor adapter/extension ($30) since this engine has it on the timing cover in this car. The knock sensors will have to be threaded and tapped into existing holes on the side of the block (free). And should you get one with a 58x tooth reluctor wheel on the crank you need a Lingenfelter signal conversion box ($250). I don't recall if 24x reluctor exist oem on these or not, but if they do... Seek that engine out instead so no LPE box.

Everything else bolts right up. Well, maybe some grinding to fit the passenger engine mount.
