read this, it will answer all your LS3 swap questions. https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...02-f-body.html
In short, yes all your LS1 sensors will work, except for the cam sensor.
You have to swap reluctor wheels on the LS3 crank. Unless you ordered it with 24 tooth reluctor wheel.
You also will need a few extension : knock sensor, cam, and possibly MAP.
You will have to use an LS2 timing set and LS2 cam sensor.
You need a throttle cable bracket of some sort (unless your using a fast 102 manifold). the throttle bracket is cover in the above link.
I'm sure im missing a few things, but everything is covered in the link. If you have anymore questions after reading the link feel free to PM me.
