Not really...

13B-REW weighs 180-200
LS1 weighs 370-450 (the LS1 comes in 2 flavors so add 80lbs for an iron block ver)

These weights are "core" weights. Which means no accessories, manifolds, turbos etc... just complete engines with internals.

Plus you aren't able to keep the LS1 mounted as far back as the Rotary which makes the car nose heavy and ruins the handling..
