Default C6 Engine swap

I've been curious... how "easy" would it be to swap out an LS2 engine for an LS3? or an LS7?
Not that I plan on seriously doing something like that any time soon. It crossed my mind and I haven't the slightest clue. I heard that lS engines "should" all fit in the same bay.

Thanks

why? they're almost the same engine. It would be far cheaper and easier to mod something on the engine to gain the difference in power.

The only one i would swap in would be the LS7.(because of the displacement increase) But i agree with the others, you can make all the power u want with your lil' ol 6.0L.

I ordered the same borla exhaust too, and love the way it sounds it also looks very nice. I have people asking me all the time what kind of exhaust it is because it sounds so good. I got mine from borla parts here, borla 11756 and was pleased with the price a delivery time. You should also check craigslist sometimes you can find a used set.
