Default LSX in a 99 SS???

What all can I reuse off the ls1 onto an lsx and what will be required to keep stock computer and wiring, etc? trying to figure out a starting point.

What is a LSX? I know it's often referred to as X being any of the LS variants. X being 1, 2, 3, etc.

I just did some searching and found some info on the block. Quite impressive. Guess using the phrasing LSX powered vehicles is no longer valid.

More than likely would use ls7 or aftermarket parts for it. But I am not sure if it has all the sensor mounts(knock sensor and such) and if there is a 24 t reluctor wheel for an ls7 crank and so on. Would my a/c and other acces bolt up without modification and so on is what I am looking into. Wondering if someone has put one in an f body and what kind of problems or changes they had to make.

painless has a kit for the electrical as spect.

As far as mechanical/design it will just swap in with little to no modification. I think you would need an LS2 flywheel and ls7/2 clutch if you are an m6 though.
