Default 07 LS2 into a 70 Chevelle

Hello LS world,

I'm new to this forum.

The next project I'm planning is a LS2 swap from a 07 vette into a 70 Chevelle.
What I got from the breakers is the engine with all the accesories the wiring loom ECM throtle pedal with controller, automatic transmission, as the vendor is saying everything included to get the engine running.

What I would like to find out is if I need a new wiring loom and ECM or can I modify the loom myself.

I'm based in Belgium, so not that easy to send stuff to the States to have converted.

Thank you for your help and tips to get this job done.

Oliver

Good luck on your project. There are many guys on here building A-bodys. I have a Twin Turbo in my 70 Chevelle. Read through my thread, you may get some ideas. Good Luck!!

What transmission are you going to be using in the swap?

This is a great swap, look at the stickies for a list of things you must do to make the swap a success. Don't be afraid to ask for help, many will respond.

Just got the LS2 and 4L60E today with the DBW pedal wiring loom and ECU.
The guy at the breakers told me that there is no separate controller for the pedal as this is included in the ECM of the 07 Corvette.

Is this correct???

Also, is there a separate ECM for the transmission or is this included in 1 box.
The engine came original with a manual transmision.

Thanks for your help.
