LS2 short block w/ LS6 heads?

Will an LS2 short block work with LS6 heads, intake, oil pan, timing cover, cam sensor, A/C. P/S. accessories etc.?

Will EVERYTHING bolt up?

I'm not sure what you are saying but the stock factory LS2 has 243 heads that was used on the LS6.

And no, the LS6 is the Gen III. LS2 is Gen IV. So your valley cover, front & rear covers won't match.

LS1 to LS2 = Easy

I swapped a LS2 into my C5. Relocate the knock sessors, a few harnesses and covers and your done. No big deal.
