All the LSx motors mount in the same configuration. So if you have an DSE subframe designed to hold an LSx motor, then yes it should fit. The only thing you'll have to be careful with is the oil pan. I have no idea what the oil pan looks like on that engine and if it will fit the subframe. However, swapping out to the correct oil pan is simple. The next potential interference issue are the accessories. Again, I have no idea what the factory configuration is for that engine. You can change the accessories to after market pieces such as March, Billet Specialties, Vintage Air, etc or factory brackets from another car.

It will prob. fit better w/an 97-02 fbody pan.The rear sump is a little shallower.And a little shorter.Check w/Dan at DSE Mon. morning.

I have been out in the garage trying to get the engine to fitt:( but with no luck, i think i have to get me a new oil pan....

It should go in the sub no problem, but you will more than likely have to change the pan to an LS3 pan or aftermarket pan and a custom tranny crossmember. I aasume your using the DSE mounts? The real question is whether the 6L80 will clear the tunnel since the setback on the engine is quite a bit. Tunnel may require surgery as that tranny is huge.

I have been out trying to get the engine and tranny to fit today, with no luck.. i need to do somthing to the oil pan and the transmission tunnel and the assesorisse the altrernator is in the way:(.. so now my god deal is not so god anymore...when you look from the side on the car the oil pan on the transmission is very deep to, so im not sure if i can hVE 3 degrees on it.. :(

You just need your working angles of the
 
driveshaft to be equal. You can run as little as 1 degree. From the picture it appears that it is more than 3 degrees.

You could also raise the motor and trans in the car, but now you are looking at a complete tunnel re-work along with a little firewall work. Do you plan on running headers or the exhaust manifolds?
