I've heard of people putting the lsj head on a l61 block so why not vice versa? whats stopping us from doing that?
ok...nevermind...did some research and it ain't gonna happen.

Yes you can it has been done like already said by PJ, granted its on standalone due to crank triggering differences. Oh and someone is working on a LE5 bottom with L61 head.

simple answer yes
You need to check to see what the combustion chambers displacement is. If they are the same you will know the compression ratio is 9.5 to 1 bigger = lower / smaller = higher
If your l61 is an 07+ you need to make sheer the lsj block has a 58x reluctor wheel
transmission bolt pattern is the same but check your clearance on the lsj oil cooler
i do not know if the crank has the same bolt pattern but if they are different you can just use aftermarket lsj flyweel and clutch if you are auto hope they are the same

The main issue with the transmission is the F35 uses a shim to space the tranny and PJ hasn't said whether its needed or not.
