How to Convert LS1 To LS2 I just recentally got an LS2 for my 99 Trans am , now theres quite a few things that are different from the LS1 on the Block , the Oil pump sensor is different , the injector plug in's are different, i noticed that i would have to extend my wiring to the front for the Crank sensor to be relocated the knock sensors on the LS2 are located on the side of the block instead of under the intake manifold, and i noticed that the throttle bodys are different on the LS2 its wired not cable driven. I see also on the LS2 that the Oil pan is a little longer from front to back of the engine , now that would not sit down on the crossmember right , now Anyone have any answers for these Questions or know any websites that i can convert LS1 Wiring to LS2 Please let me know ... Thanks you much... But my last question is if i do hook an LS2 wiring harness up to my computer its probally not gunna work the way it should , WOuld the Car even start up after i installed the harness and pluged everything in and hooked it up ? IF you can PLEASE help me out or if you have anyweb sites that give any good information for this let me know ... thanks ... where can i buy the stuff to convert the wiring ?
You need to switch your f-body oil pan to make it fit on your car. The crank sensor is in the same location but the cam sensor and knock sensors are moved. Katech (sponsor here) makes adaptors and specific wiring harnesses for this conversion. I would post this in the LS section here and I'm sure he will answer.
