Questions about LS1 swap
Would my tranny work with the 5.7L?
Would the motor bolt right in, no mods needed to get it to fit?
Would my radiator need to be moved?
Electric fan for the radiator, since the motor doesn't have a fan?
Would my truck computer work with the motor?
How long to do the swap?
Would my Edelbrock shortys bolt to the 5.7L, and would my exhaust system line up with the new motor?
Basically I want to yank my 5.3L out and drop in the 5.7L powerplant?
Any tips for a 19 year old youngster doing this?
I have done a motor swap once before although it was a front wheel drive V6 and had 3 other experienced people for help.

I have done a motor swap once before although it was a front wheel drive V6 and had 3 other experienced people for help-that's a whole different deal but a good learning experience.
