LS2 swap into ls1 camaro? looking to put an ls2 into my camaro. will the camaro engine and computer harness work? how plug and play is it? also, what kind of headers can i use? i will also be putting a th400 in it. what will i need for that to work? thanks in advanced for your help fellas.
I am in the process of doing the same swap right now. U will need an adapter harness for knock sensors and cam sensor (Speartech). U wil have to move your knock sensors on the side of the block, also u will have to tap the whole bigger for the knock sensors to fit. U can use the LS1 headers. U will re use your harness but just adding the adapter harness to it. If u are staying with the LS6 intake and LS1 injectors u can use your harness. If u are using the LS2 injectors u will need to buy the adapter kit for that as well. Hope that helps some.
U can re-use all of the LS1 access, and sensors. I am staying with the LS6 intake and LS1 fuel rails and injectors so I can will not have to but the adapter kit for it. I will try and post sme pics up tom. where to put the knock sensors or if u search this forum u should find some pics of that. U can keep your k-member, steering rack. On a LS1 the knock sensors are on top in the valley cover. The Ls2 valley cover does not have the spots on top for the knock sensors that is why u have to relocate them on the side of the block and for the cam sensor it is right on front of the timing cover. That's really all of the major issues from converting from LS1 to LS2 I believe.
