Default Building an LS7 for 01 SS

What can I use off my LS1 to my LS7? For instance. Can I use my LS1 coils? All my sensors and plugs. Injectors plugs. Cam positioning sensor, knock sensors. Map sensor. Basically want a clean swap and a good understanding. Is there a guide for this

Cam position sensor and knock sensors changed locations from the gen III motor to the gen IV motor, everything else should bolt right up

Looks like I’ll need a fabbed throttle cable bracket, and a cup washer for the crank spacing. Who makes these cable brackets? Anyone? Got my eye one injector harnesses and map sensor extension harness.

Hey. I am doing the same swap right now. I just got my MSD Atomic intake today and I need to buy a MAP sensor that will work with my 2001 computer. I have collected up on all of my wet sump conversion parts as well as my 1x timing set and 24x reluctor. The MSD instructions say to drill a hole and mount the MAP. So, I need to buy a new one. I am leaving my LS1 engine and transmission complete so I am not taking any parts off of original drive train. What MAP sensor did you use? Thanks.
