The motor mounts are the same it will bolt into my 74 vette.


But how about the rest of it? Does anyone else know if there would be any un-seen hangups about installing this motor?

I am currently using a M21 and I would like to keep it a manual.

Are you getting the engine for free? That is not a very powerful engine for the Vette. You will need the computer and O2 sensors and a speed sensor. You will also need to replace the flywheel because that engine is externally balanced. Probably doesn't have a hole in the block for your clutch . You will also need a high pressure fuel pump. I would sell the engine and buy a crate engine.

You'll need the correct computer of course, engine wiring harness (painless makes a good one), That engine will need 2 oxygen sensors ( or a bypass). You may have to do some fabricating to get your accessories to work, but otherwise it will be pretty straight forward.

I dunno, my dad's 97 Chev truck with the same 5.7 Vortec motor made 250 some horsepower and 330 ft./lbs of torque. That's more than most TPI's.

With a little work I could get the power up.. Although I am more worried about clearances? the AirCleaner is fairly tall on this motor...

Yes that motor has lots of power. In my 97 with dual exhaust and K&N intake kit it can hit 300 HP. If I recall correctly they were rated at 275HP by GM.
