Not directly

SBC vs LSx mounting holes/brackets are completely different

Re: Vortec on lsx carb

would it be difficult to fab the bracket to allow it to fit?

Depends on your fabrication skills and available tools

Re: Vortec on lsx carb

im a decent fabricator not professional or anything but i have done some custom fab work in the past what would be involved in making it fit? would it just be a matter of drilling new holes on the mounting bracket to match the lsx?

Figure out a new crank pulley for the extra wide belt independent of the rest of your acc's

Figure out a new main bracket and pray it clears the valve cover/head (LSx are wider than SBCs)
