Pretty much a straight drop in. The cam position sensor is on the front of the LS2 block and rear of the ls21 block, so you have to extend the wiring harness. But that is about it. It just drops right in.

Go to Barnes and Noble and find a book by Will Handzel called How to build High Performance LS1/LS6. There is an entire chapter dedicated to engine removal and installation.
