ls1 on the third gen

i have the front spindles from a 2000 ss with rotors and calipers already installed... can i just swap them out with the 3rd gen, or do i have to take em apart and modify the 3rd gen s to accept the rotor and caliper?

No.

Yes.

Terrific info below as there's more to the swap than you may have considered:

I did a search but didn't see it. It would be helpful if you could just post the link.

I know it's difficult to click the search button at the top of the screen then type in my screen name into the "threads started by user" then click the brake board.....but I just did it for you

thanks... now the point to the og question was if the 4th gen spindle was a direct bolt in. i know what was needed to modify our 3rd gen spindle. and as i said, i searched and didnt see what i needed so i asked. not as easy when using a phone.. but thanks anyway. Quick to say just use the "search" button. if you know the answer just say so and move on. all the extra words isnt needed.
