Default Should I buy this short block?

1993 s10 with a 98 corvette pcm stock ls1, I want to build an ls2 for it. I see that 2006+ ls engines no longer have the provision for the cam sensor behind intake (timing cover instead) and that they have the 58x reluctor wheel. I have learned that much. I can have my machine shop swap the reluctor wheels and crank sensor, but besides that, what will I have to do in order for my cam sensor to hook up to the 98 model harness. Thanks
Also what other hiccups will I run into going from a 98 ls1 to an ls2.

Ps: i know the 2005 ls2 has the 24x and rear cam sensor but i found a deal on an 08-09 ls2

Thanks in advance

You can extend the wires on your cam sensor plug and just use the stock LS2 timing conversation and sensor.

If you don't want to swap reluctant, Lingenfelter sells a conversion box that just plugs in and runs a 58x crank on a gen 3 ecu

Yeah I like lpe but id rather not have to rely on their box for the motor to run. Ok so 98 pcm/ecm all the plugs will plug into the cam sensor and crank sensor on 08-09 block. And with the 24x reluctor wheel and my stock plug into the ls2 cam sensor im good to go?
