L99 good choice for swap?
 

I have a 69 camaro and I'm considering doing the LS swap. Right now I have the opportunity to pick up a L99 all Aluminum 5.3 H.O engine complete with all accessories and harness with ecu, swap fuse an relay box, a 2wd 4l60e trans with new pump for $1700.00. The engine has 50k on it but I don't care about the mileage as I'll be having it rebuilt locally by an engine shop (looking for around 600 hp motor).

First, is this a decent motor to do a swap with?
Second, are there any concerns with this particular model..L99 vs an LS2 or LS7?

I haven't done a lot of research on this topic yet as I am just beginning to explore but if I can pick up a good motor and tranny for this cheap I want to know that it is worth it with an L99.


Thanks in advance.

l99 engine code is from a camaro. its like a ls3 with afm and vvt.

Looks like you have a L33. It will have an aluminum block and heads. The compression is higher and has different heads than the stock iron block LM7. I picked one up last year and will be putting it in my 69 camaro when the body is finished.

Good luck.

Thanks. Unfortunately the engine and trans are sold. I'm back to the shopping stage again.
