So i was just lookin around ebay and found a ls2 and auto trans out of a 05 gto with 19k miles for sale for $5500 with all asserices, computer, and wiring and the trans is fully built with a 3500 stall coneverter and i was wondering if this is a good deal and worth the time and money to swap motors i know i good get some good money for my enigne/trans being it only has 34000 miles.
How hard would it be to swap over to the ls2 and trans, could i use my headers i have on the car now would i have to buy a cable operated throttle body and what would i need for the computer? The reason i would like the ls2 is because odvisely more cubic inches and more power with the same bolt ons plus is has a easier block for building on and a already built trans that saves me a $1000 right there. any input would be great thanks.

Hell yea its worth it all you need to do is put a cam in it and roll your 390 rwhp just that easy.
Thunder have a cheatr cam for the ls2.

I wouldnt say it is if ur spending 5k lol. For 5k you can get your ls1 to be like 500rwhp. So why would you bother getting a ls2 for the same price.

That's true didn't think about that but you sure is right a ls6 pkg only like 1600.00 dame you right bro going to a ls2 motor wouldn't be smart at all.

get a ls2 block then put a stroker crank and the works, then you have a 408. then you've upgraded.

Yeah I would say that it's "worth it" if you plan on stroking the LS2. In the end, 408 > 383 (my 3rd grade math teacher confirms). $5500 is a lot to plunk down upfront and it might be considered a waste if you don't plan to push a lot of power.

BTW GMPP sells LS3's for $7100 w/ warranty (sans trans, cheaper elsewhere): https://store.gmperformanceparts.com/store/SelectProd.do?prodId=7718&redir=true&manufacturer= GM&name=LS3%202008%20Corvette%20Gen%20IV%20V-8%20&model=<!--19201992-->

And here's a new LS2, also w/o trans for $6100: http://www.usmracer.com/LS2-60L_p_1967.html

here are my dyno graphs, the power difference is not drastic. Here is my stock 2006 GTO with a 10 minute tune, compared to my 110K mile 1998 WS6 with longtube headers and ls6 intake and a 30 minute tune. Run 4 is the GTO, and Run 11 is the 98 Ws6.
