ls1 to ls2 swap
ls1 to ls2 swap I have searched through alot of threads and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I know I've seen a couple of guys on here put an ls2 in thier f body. I've got a 2000 camaro ss and was wondering what complications I will run into for the swap? So far I've found that I need to relocate the knock sensors and the cam sensor. What other changes will I need to do? Also will my t-56 bolt up to the ls2 block or do I need a differant bell housing? Any help would be appretiated! If you know of a thread containing the info I need please show the link if you can(I'm sure there are some on here). Thanks in advance for any help!
You have to relocate the map sensor if you use an LS2 setup. There a couple of other small things too. Oil pan from an Fbody. I think the throttle body too. LS2 is a 4 bolt pattern.
ls2 swap Thanks for all your help guys, I really appretiate it! I have a fast intake and a nw throttle body so I wont have to worry about the throttle body conversion. I was wondering what everybody is using for the bellow from the air lid to the maf though. 90mm?

The knock sensors are no big deal, they just have to make contact with the block. If you use your stock PCM then all the sensors stay the same.
If you try using 2006 or newer PCM then you have to worry about the crank sensor, some new cranks have more teeth than the old ones and the harness' & sesnors aren't universal.

Thanks for all of your help guys!

I think I have just about everything lined up
ls2 block
l92 heads
l76 complete assembly
Speartech wiring adaptors for map, cam, and knock sensors also the ls2 injector plug and play
All the accesories off of my ls1 including oil pan
Am I missing anything???
I still need help with
milling the heads- how much to mill for a good c/r and not run into clearance issues
headers- d port or oval port?
cam- what would be a good cam- I want a pretty hot cam
head gaskets- what would be a good gasket for this setup
Any help is greatly appretiated. Thanks
