Using LS2 stuff in an LS1
Using LS2 stuff in an LS1 I've been searching through the archives. I just want to confirm before pressing the "order button".
LS2 Lifter guides (PN 12595365) are priced each, so I must order four, correct? No problems using these in an LS1, correct?
Upgrading to LS2 Timing chain and cam/crank sprockets:
There is no "kit"? I must order the three pieces separately?
If so, the parts are:
12586482 Chain
12556582 Crank Sprocket
????????? Cam Sprocket? (Do I order LS1 cam sprocket or LS2 cam sprocket?)
I don't have either sprocket. When I got rid of the Crankshaft, I left the OEM Sprocket on there since I was getting a new crank and figured I was going with a Rollmaster double roller at the time. I gave the cam gear to someone on here some time ago.

2001 LS1 here. In the middle of H/C swap.
Here are the lifter trays I just installed, you need 4 of them:

If you need LS2/LS7 lifters sdparts has a good deal on them as well:

I got the 12586482 LS2 chain from thunder racing.
I left the crank sprocket alone. My cam sprocket had a few cracks so I got a new one from the dealer. It's the LS2 design, solid piece (no holes): 12576407.
I wanted a new gasket for the cam retainer plate. The plate and gasket come together (only $21): 12556437.
The new retainer plate has counter sunk holes, no clue why. You need 4 new bolts with wider heads if you want to use the new plate: 11515756

I don't know if any of my info is the same for a 97 block. I would ask the dealer to be sure.
I didn't take a picture of the new cam gear and I already have the cover on. I just found this though, very cool. Has a ton of pictures of LSx parts listed by part number.
