swapping into a non v8 vehicle, whats the difference between the ls1 and the ls2? (besides 5.7 and 6.0) im hearing through some of the guys i work with that the blocks are the same, but have different internals. "bigger" heads and crank? thanks

I was looking for this to post, pretty decent article. Also, just in general, the LS2 will yield you more power mod for mod up to a certain extent, but ultimately, if you have a goal or a certain power cap that you want to reach, the technology is there to do it with either one. You can't lose either way, the only advantage the LS1 has is that it would probably be a little cheaper to build.

^^what he said. if you can swing the extra cost go ls2

Pretty sure the LS2 would be a better choice if you could foot the bill.
