What parts/sensors can i use on My LSX block from my LS1?

 

Pretty much all the sensors. You just need to get a Cam and Knock Sensor relocation harness from Casper as the cam moves from the rear to the front and the knock sensors move from the valley to the side of the block.

You'll need a Gen IV timing cover for the relocated cam sensor. You'll also need a 1X compatible LS2 timing set (if you're using a 24X reluctor on the crank). The LSX has a specific rear cover I believe. And I think the oil pan will bolt up.

The valley cover is different as well.

 

Can't i use ls1 cam and knock sensors? or are there differences in the block that wont allow that.

Also, why a ls2 timing chain? i was gonna go for a double row aftermarket unit.

 

The sensors themselves can be used. But the wiring harness is not long enough. You need the extensions.

And the relocated cam sensor reads off the timing set. If you do not use an LS2-compatible 1X timing set, you won't have use of the cam sensor.

The cam sensor numbers (so you can compare to what you have):
6010 takes the 1x signal (either up front or back) and 24x crank (black sensor)
6012 takes the 4x signal from up from on a 4x cam gear and 58x crank (grey sensor)

 

Ok, the earlier LS1 timing chains are a no go because it wont be picked up by the cam sensor right? So something like this http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ROLLMASTE...item53e30c07dd

And I use the 6010 Black sensor because i have a 24x crank?

Will i have any clearance issues with the double row chain and oil pump or timing cover?

 

Double Rollers work. I have one. Just use the spacers for the pump. The LS2 timing cover might not be as forgiving as the LS1. So you may need to grind on it a little for the pump to clear.

 

You'll also need a ls2 valley cover. And I would skip the knock sensors. Just delete them. Imo they're useless. Lots of discussion on that topic if you search.

 

Most tuners just delete as they either don't work at all or are way too sensitive.

 

Exactly. I haven't had any sense 07'ish lol

 

I dont know about deleting knock sensors hahaaha.

While I've got the thread i may as well ask about heads and intake manifold as well. Im thinking of getting a pair of these, has anyone had experience with them?

Nothing wrong with them. But do some more research on the knock sensors. You can't adjust them to keep up with a motor that has a big bumping cam and loud as ****. All it will do is give false knock and you'll chase your tail.

 

Ill keep my knock sensors for now. If they start giving me the ***** i'll look into it further.

Has anyone had any experience with Texas Speeds PRC Heads. Im condidering their LS7 Castings.
