    Thumbs down crashed car!!

    well i crashed my car! !!!! lucky my engine gear box drive train diff all survived! so im goin 2 get a cheap body n swap it all over. now im thinking of making it better while all the stuff will be out. at the moment ive got a 5.7l ls1 6speed and thinking of selling it and gettin a 6l

    Will the engine bolt straight on the existing engine mounts/gearbox?
    how much are second hand 6l engines? + where to get
    an average price ls1s are selling for.
    will the 5.7 computer be right or will i have to get a new 6l computer?

    thanx every1. if it is too hard i might just get a cam and heads or something for the ls1, but id like a 6l so i can cam that 1 day

    I'm not sure but depending on what model 6L you get the reluctor ring tooth count is different from a 5.7L. The reluctor ring can be changed on the crank to a 5.7L one.

    LS1.com.au may be the go for a clear answer
