Default interchangable LSX parts

I am building a LS6, and want to know which, primarily the heads (valvetrain), main caps, crank, etc., of the new LS2 and LS7 are interchangable with it.

Thanks guys,

I can't say for the LS7, but most (not all) of the parts for the LS2 can be interchanged with LS1/6. The LS2 heads/cam are actually LS6 pieces. some of the odd parts like front timing cover, valley cover, lifter retainers cannot be interchanged.

That's good to know. I am really hoping the LS7 heads will fit. I have seen some very impressive flow numbers...
