Question by Justin: What late model car would be the best option for an engine swap into a 79 corvette?
I own a 79 corvette and a year ago the engine blew on me. I have moved around so we never had time to work on it but now we are settled here in arizona. Me and my dad are going to place a new engine in it but we thought of going to a U-Pull It service and take an engine from a late model car. We were just wondering of any recommendations for the best engine to use and from what car to get it from?

Best answer:

Answer by gta_tony
Any LSx motor..basically a LS1, LS2, LS3 or LS6 from a 98-02 Camaro/Trans am or any 'vette from 98-present.

A 6.0L from a GM truck would work too as it's based off of the LSx motors.
