Default Z06 engine swap into 97 C5 ????

I'm new to CF to find my first answer. My question is: I have access to 02 Z-06 motor complete and I want to install into 97 6 spd coupe. Anybody know what kind of problems I might run into? My 97 has 4:10 gears and long tubes thru no cats and x-over pipe. Thanks, Chuck

welcome to the addiction. :cheers:

I swapped a 02' LS6 motor into mine. The headers are going to be different, so you will need to sell you old ones. Other than that it bolts right in.
