LS2 camshaft = 12574519

You should also be able to identify the core by the three bolt cam sprocket layout and the absence of a cam sensor reluctor ring just ahead of the last journal.

The good news is the LS2 cam has the exact same specs as the 01' LS6 cam . The bad news is for You to use it in a pre 05' LS engine You need the timing cover that has the cam sensor from an LS2 or an 07 or newer truck engine and an LS2 cam sprocket . The good news is that a wrecking yard in oklahoma called Ruperts has 5 or 6 of those timing covers for $35 and He'll ship em .
