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 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.

Default 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?
