It should bolt right in if the donor motor is taken straight from another GD like yours. I'm not aware of any differences in motor mounts between an L13A3 and an L15A7, but the GD chassis ran both engines so I don't see any problems.

L13A3 surplus motors have gotten plentiful where I live. Unfortunately 90% of them are mated to the CVT, and mine's got a manual gearbox.

Fixed that for ya. The L15A7 is the GE's engine.
