OK well Im putting an ls2 in my 02 trans am. My builder is gonna be takin care of assembling the long block. I pulled the engine from the bottom and I just want to know if there are any small details that i might miss out?


I figure installation is opposite of removal and i gotta make sure to bleed my clutch, brakes, fill my a/c, fill the oil and radiator, get an alignment.

I think i should be fine for all my wiring harness, and there are a few diagrams online.

What type of oil should i use? I know that it is gonna require non-synthetic for break in.

Now I am a bit worried as far as bolts are concerned. I got a few bolts here and there that I have no idea where they came from. I did try to label most everything but is there any good reference online or anywhere to figure this out?

One thing I was curious, will my stock motor mount be fine with this engine or are they gonna get destroyed?

I got stuff figured out as far as knock sensors, the crank and cam sensors, etc so I think im good to go.

Anything else?
