Default LT1 to LS2 conversion

Does anyone know what is involved to swap an LS2 motor into an LT1 F-body? I did some searches on the net but I really didn't find too much.

Will an A4 from a 97 bolt up to the new LS2?
Any other major changes or problems?

Thanks!

Default keep all you old parts

yes we have transplanted a ls1 418 into a corvette lt1 and had problems with flywheel ls1 and ls2 have a larger flywheel so you will have the same problem, is the engine fly by wire throttle ?. also engine mounts need a bit of work, you have lots of room so you should have a easy time with it. good luck.

thanks for the info.

The engine is just the GM crate motor that comes without the cable throttle body. What are my options with that?
