there are enough guys doing this swap, maybe we can start a sticky here going lt1-lsx. I know there is a sticky on the conversion forum, i'm thinking more specific to lt1 only. I've done a lot of research, merv has done a lot of conversion, matt, hitman, others too, there is enough collective knowledge that we can contribute back to the community

Good knowledge kind sir, I thought the intent of the front mount cam sensor was for the 58X. Learned something new.

Man that's a good idea..below is one of my best threads with a ton of info, it never made sticky because I think it'll **** off alot of the sponsors..
But in this LT1 section there should be a LTX -> LSX Sticky with info.

The Front Mounted Cam Sensor is inplace becase of the design of them Aluminum Blocks, they are made differently in the Valley.

Yea, but the MCSS is sexier..

I didn't think about the different design block, do LS2s have the same support ribs in the lifter valley like aluminum BBCs?

yeah i will settle for this one, he sells them for under $600 for the shortblock... im not a fan of the lower compression ratio but its a start and maybe sometime i can pick up another lq4 to build up... im having a hard time finding a k member for less than a tubular one... which leads me back to why cant i use the lt1 i have with the ls1 pedestals?
