Default LS-2 or LS6 in a camaro...easy to do?

i was thinking of dropping an ls2 or ls6 into my 2000 camaro ss....

would this be easy or would i need a new tranny ....and obviously a new rear end...

would it be easier to do this or just make an all motor LS1???

just build up the engine you have, cam, heads, and you'll be better than a ls6.
depending on how much power you plan on making will determine what you'll need to replace right away. You can go pretty fast of stock tranny/rear but what your goal is i dont know.

My stock 10 bolt died with 29k on it, 350 rwhp and only a couple (under 5) trips down the track.......on street tires and gentle launching. I wouldn't trust a 10 bolt to stock let alone anything beyond stock.
