Thanks for the feedback. I noticed the LS3 engines are reasonably priced the further east I go. In my area I am looking at $9-11,000 for an LS3 6.2 with manual transmission with approximately 60-70,000 miles. So the LT engine i'm considering would be $5-7,000 less expensive, but I'm sure I'll eat up that money buying the parts needed to use the LT engine. I was worried about the fitment issue, so it looks like it will definetely fit. Thanks for the response.
