Thinking of adding a ls2 engine to a camaro 93' a few questions Hi there.
I was thinking of converting my 93 3.4v6 into a ls2 equipped camaro instead.
But what is needed exactly? i have been reading about it a little so i know of some of the things needed. For instance
I already have the ls1 k member.
And the engine with a transmission. A ls2 with a 4l65e Both with only 1500miles on them. I bought them through GMPP with controller kits for each. The engine control kit came with DBW.
I Will need a new driveshaft and a rear end. Disc brakes preferrably.
Motor mounts for an ls1
How about my radiator. Can it support the bigger engine, and what hoses can be used to link them together?
And how do i get my gauges to work?
The engine control kit has an output with engine rpm, tps, oil pressure(i think) oil temp, coolant temp and couple more probably.
Also. What do i do for an intake? buy one that would fit a 98+ and use that?
I have converted a c3 corvette with this engine/tranny before, but i crashed it leaving the drivetrain intact, so im not entirely new to the LS engines and working on them.

Please chime in with what is needed. That would be of great help to me.
