LS2 timing chain set fit LS1?

I was wondering if the timing set from an LS2 will fit my '98 LS1 directly or if something will need to be modified. Thanks. C3.

Yes it will, the LS2 chain part number has replaced the LS1 number

Thats what I figured, another q, what all comes when you buy a timing set? 2 gears and a chain, is that it? From Texas-speed.com it shows a couple other things with bolts what are the bracket thingies?

Those are oil pump spacers with matching longer bolts. With thicker gears, they would touch the oil pump bc its mounted directly in front of the chain. You have to space it out in order to move it away from the chain so it doesn't rub the back of the pump.
