Default LS2 in FBody DBW Advice

Seriously considering an LS2 stroker I found w/ L92/L76 DBW setup. Looking for advice on trying to adapt DBW or convert to throttle cable (sounds easier). What's involved in transferring DBW to and FBody ? If I go cable is it feasible to send a TPS signal to the LS2 ecu or will I have to use the FBody harness/ecu and the Lingenfelter LS2 to LS1 adapter harness ?
All feedback greatly appreciated.

Here's a thread that sort of discusses what you're talking about:

Also, try searching around. I remember seeing it somewhere that somone makes an adapter for DBW to cable. And vice versa. They aren't that expensive.

It would most likely be easier to use a cable actuated throttle body versus adapting to DBW. I bet it would be much cheaper also.
