LC9?

I was wondering if anyone has ever swapped in a 5.3 vortec. And how similar it would be to swapping in any other LS engine.

Vortec = truck engine. Therefore, the link in the LS1 swap sticky addressing the special attention required when starting with a truck engine applies.

Re: LC9?

It's a gen IV LSx, so read up. The sticky at the top of the page is a great starting point
