Ls6

I know the ls1 swap is possible...but has anyone tried the Ls6? I know its the same blcok but not sure if the different heads would clear. Just wondering since this engine producees much more power and causes z06's to go 12.1's.

Do a search, someone asked about ls6 a few weeks ago. Basically, the LS6 is identical with the exception of the heads, intake manifold, and camshaft. Most people go w/ the ls1 because its alot cheaper. As far as clearance, I think I remember doing research on this and because of the custom motor mounts, it sits a little lower in the bay, so yes, it'll clear.
