when did the owner buy the car off the previous owner?? If Im correct, I dont think that you could get an LS2 until the end of 05 unless you got one off of a vette or gto wreck.

Look at the throttle body size for one. Man Im trying to think what else you could look for.

I guess your going to have to crawl under the car and look for serial numbers and post them up here and see if we (tech) can match some numbers. Take a pic of it if you can. I would love to see it.
