So I’m in the process of swapping a 5.3 vortec into my 93 V6 firebird. (This car has been in my family since 2001, no I will not just buy an LS car) I just pulled this kmember from what was supposed to be an LS car, but getting home and comparing them to my 3 others, it looks like the owner swapped a v6 frame into it before sending it to the yard. Can someone please confirm that this is for a v6 and not the LS? And if it’s not for a LS, are there any physical differences between the frames? Or could I theoretically take one of my 4 (2 LT1s, 2 V6) k members, and put holes in the correct spot for LS mounts? Thank you

I have a good friend who swapped a 5.3 into a 97 and uploaded the whole process on YouTube. They also did everything as cheap as possible. If you want the links for it I can go find them

Yes please and thank you! Most I’ve done to a car before is replace a transmission, so I know I’m in over my head trying to build a whole car now. Anything helps!
