Default LS2 in 07+ 1500

I was wondering if my LS2 i have sitting around will bolt right into a 4.8 or 5.3 Chevy 1500 pick up? Or what is needed, and is it even possible in a V6 1500?

yes it will bolt into either.(4.8/5.3 OR v6) It would be alot easier to start with a 4.8/5.3

If the truck is a GMT900 and a V8 already its a bolt in swap for the LS2. If its a V6 then you need alot more mods to get it to work.


Do some searching on the truck site as the V6 swap has been done there before

Just check to make sure the reluctor rings are the same...everything else will be easy.

That's a good point some of the LS2's are 24x and won't work easy with the new trucks.
