rebuilt? that depends.
do a little research but any ls1 should drop in. you may have to get a tune $400-600 and you should be good to go.
the heads/intake/cam are different on the vetteChris V

Not positive, but I believe that the 'Vette motors do not have an EGR system, while the earlier F-body motors did. Not sure about the later F-body motors though. Also, in 2001ish all LS1's received LS6 intakes and a cam change. So depending on what motor you get a tune may certainly be in order. That's about the extent of my knowledge. I'm sure that someone else more in the know will chime in. Good luck with everything.
