ls2s are iron, but yes, they are 6.0 liter blocks. As for an iron block, yes you can use the cam. I thought the ls2 cams have something on them that ls1s dont..

You can put a LS1 cam in a LS2 block. You might have to use a LS2 cam sprocket and the LS2 font cover to get the timing right if there is no place for the cam position sensor on the back of the LS2 blocks.

The LS2 is an iron block? First I've heard of that!
