GTO LS2 engine into a '68 Camaro?
Any problems getting it in there? I got a line on one with a T-56 trans that comes with everything imaginable including the kitchen sink for $8500 and it only has 4025 miles on it. Is that a reasonable price? It's being pulled from an '05 GTO.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

I was told it does not come with the Drive-By-Wire cable that plugs into the gas pedal and harness or the clutch master cylinder.
And yes...it's from Schram. Are they any good?

an '06 LS2 from a GTO wiht 2988 miles, clutch, and flywheel just sold on here for $3000 2 days ago. i'd wait and find a better deal than that. you can also pick up a low mileage, or rebuilt t-56 trans for under $1500. i'd wait and put the other $3000-$4000 towards something else. bottom line, if you can hold off, you can get a better deal than that. hell, you could even pick up a sub 50k mileage motor for $2500 and have it gone through and add forged pistons & rods for around $2000, add a decent head/cam pkg maybe for another $2500 installed & tuned, and still have $1500 left to put towards a decent 6spd plus a little extra, but you'd have a much more potent motor that's 100% fresh. just an idea. good luck with whatever route you go.

That's not a bad price to get everything basicly brand new. Look at what people are asking for complete 5 year old LS6 motor and trans combos for comparison. That is what the LS2 motor best compares to.

The price is good. I got my LS2 from them and no regrets. The Oil pand won't work on your 68 (you need the LS1 oil pan from a 1998-2002 Camaro). You will need to pay a good electronics guy to help you with drive by wire set up ( I payed $900 for all the engine electronic re-wire a bit much but It pays to have the experts do it). The AC compressor has hose ports to the side you'll need to adddress that to cleas the frame.
