Does the Z06 engine have the same connections (hose/wiring) as the LS1 egnine? Can it be exactly swapped?

Yes but it's not called a Z06 engine, it's an LS6 engine. Z06 is just the name of the Vette. [Wink]

I thought you needed the LS6 computer as well as some of the programming is different.

Whoever said you couldn't run away from your problems obviously wasn't driving an SS.

I'm pretty sure you can use LS1 Edit to reprogram an LS1 PCM to run an LS6. LS6 engines are physically different in the heads, cam, intake but run using the same parameters. The technology is essentially the same.

If we are talking Y-body to F-body change, there is also the issue of the LS6 drive by wire throttle body (i.e.: no throttle cable).

LOL, I guess I forgot to put the "'s" on the end of Z06.
