GM crate LS3, drop in?
Hey guys.
The GM crate LS376/480 6.2L appears to be a complete engine.
Is this a 'drop in' for the C5 Vette?
Or do you have another engine suggestion?
Thanks

Almost a drop in. let me explain. The motor will bolt up to the stock mounts so it will drop in like that. The knock sensors will have to be moved to the side of the block. also the cam sensor harness will have to be extended to the front of the motor. i also think that crank reluctor is different so that will need to be changed through tuning i believe.

"crank reluctor is different so that will need to be changed "
Until you do that...... dont even think about dropping it in...
