Besides a typical LS motor swap; there really aren't any tricks. However, there are some LS2 specific parts you need to complete the swap. I believe SDPC sells a conversion kits that includes all of the necessary parts specific to the LS2 swap.

Here's a quick rundown:
- LS2 valley cover
- LS2 lifter trays
- LS2 front timing cover
- LS2 timing chain and camshaft gear sprocket
- If you use the knock sensors, they must be relocated to either side of the LS2 block.
- The cam sensor wiring between the LS2 and LS1 are different so two wires need to be swapped or you can buy the available aftermarket plug n play harnesses that do it for you.
- Make sure the crankshaft reluctor wheel is LS1 specific (24x), otherwise the LS1 PCM will not read the signal.
- You have a 98 so you will have switch to center bolt valve covers, because all of the aftermarket heads are center bolt.
