LS2 GTO and vette block diff. Will it still work? So I just found out after searching on here forever that the LS2 GTO block is different than the vette. I was reading a post where the guy said the mounting points werent even since the GTO engine was slightly offset.
Im just about to buy the GTO LS2 crate I found but need to know if it will work in a 68 camaro subframe due to this offcenter mounting or will I need some special mounts?
I have to change the crank pulley also right to a vette setup?
Ahhh this is getting confusing.

Engine offset in the GTO has nothing to do with the LS2 block; they're all the same. No special mounts needed and it's not different then a Vette. The GTO uses fbody pulleys, so if the engine is complete with all accessories, it will drop right in without changing anything. You will need a controller kit though: https://store.gmperformanceparts.com...troller%20Kits

That is not true. No GTO's were ever produced with a 58X reluctor crank. In fact if I remember correct the Corvette is the only LS2 produced that got the 58X from GM. Can' remember if the Trailblazer SS got it but the SSR did not.
