Default LS2 vs. LS6 intake manifold

Hey Guys i have a big problem, I have an ls2 manifold on my motor and i have stock ls1 injectors... They don't fit. I was hoping to find out of the ls2 requires bigger injectors, i think the wire plugs are different. Please let me know.

Where does the ls6 manifold come into play here?

LS2 manifold is not worth your time in getting it to work for the LS1

You need an LS2 fuel rail to run it on an LS1/6 engine. You also need to either buy Katech's spacer and o-ring kit, or make your own using shims and some stock LS1 o-rings. That will allow you to run the LS2 intake with LS1 style injectors.

There is alot of talk about this in the past year on the conversion forum and the LS2 forum.
