The majority of people get a full-up drop-out that includes engine, PCM, harness, and accessories, and even transmission, so the sticky didn't cover it. We could add that detail.

The only 3rd gen accessory I recall hearing used is the A/C compressor. And, to do that, you need a custom bracket set-up.

Re: ls1 accessory's throtle body

Yeh I think that is what I was hearing about too. I was lucky enought to get a 6.0L for free but now I have to piece everything together. And I thought if I could use the accessorys that would be one less thing but oh well. Not that lucky I guess. If you fell like adding it to the sticky it may help someone else I found it hard to search for because all I could get was info on the ls type accessorys. Thanks again.

Re: ls1 accessory's throtle body

just make sure the accesoies are for an ls f-body, vett, or gto or they wont clear the hood and you'r going to have to use a pass car style intake,
