Ls2 cam needs what to work in Ls1

I know theres probally a thread somewhere on this, but I couldn't find it nor was the sticky thread the answer.

I just got a ms3 cam for a ls2 cheap. was gonna use it in my 01 Ls1. forgot that it needs few things. as far as I have found I need a cam sensor ext, ls2 timing chain and a ls2 timing cover. anything else???

also I have 02 or 03 Lq4 block laying around havnt built yet. Does it have the Ls2 style timing cover? I hope so, to save me some money.

thanks

The cam itself shouldn't be any different. As long as it has the reluctor for he cam sensor on the back you're good to go...just put it in.

You need the harness for the LS2 cam sensor still. It will go from the back of the block down to the bottom of the timing cover. GMPP has the timing cover kit in one complete package though

thanks guys.. I thought that was what needed. I will just look around and see if anybody has a used ls2 timing cover. I jumped on the buy for the cam, it was a good deal. then it dawned on me that he had a ls2. ethier way I needed to upgrade to the ls2 timimg set for durability.
thanks for the help

You will need the LS2 conversion kit. The cam sensor on the LS1 is in the rear and on the LS2 its in the front cover so you need the front cover and wiring harness adapter. TSP sells the kit for a reasonable cost.
