LS1 swap, what's needed?
My bro managed to convice his brother in-law to give up his '98 LS1 and in return we would swap and LQ9 in his camaro. Mean time we are gonna drop in the 4.8L till he has enough money to buy the LQ9 cuz the car is currently wrecked.
I know we're gonna have to swap the intake, oil pan, and front accesorries but other than that Im clueless. What exactly needs to be done in order to complete this swap; both for the donor camaro and the truck?
Thanks in advance!

just put some bolts in somewhere and hook the chain up..
the iron block is what, 80# more? nothing to worry about, just move the battery to the rear and lil stuff to off set the weight.
