Default 2000 C5 LS376/480 Swap

Has anybody performed an engine swap on a C5 with the LS376/480? Is it any more difficult than swapping the LS3?

The LS376/480 has almost the same specific power as the LS7 (151 vs. 157.6) but costs almost half as much.

It's just a mildly cammed LS3. You'd be better off buying an LS3 and going with a custom cam by one of the forum vendors.
