Re: Engine swap question

The oil pan and pickup needs to be changed.
You will also want to get a tune for the engine. The corvettes prom will work but vats needs to be eliminated in the tune.
You might want to use the corvette intake other wise you need to elongate the center four bolt holes. IMO the corvette base is better it has a coolant crossover.
If your in a emissions testing area the 113 heads don’t have egr provisions.
The egr feed is done from the manifold to the rear of the intake feed.
