Default ly6 install help

i just bought a 2009 c6 from a auction and the car has no engine. I am wanting to put a ly6 in it since its way cheaper.My questions are will the truck oil pan fit? will the truck accessorys work? truck motor mounts? what will need to be changed? And will all the sensors on the truck engine plug right in ?

Oil pan would sit on the ground, motor mounts wouldn't come close to working, accessories might, but the alternator would probably make you notch the hood, and the intake would never fit under the hood.

If your gonna build it just do it with the correct cap, you can find it all second hand to save money.
