Whoa. Back from the dead here! I've been pondering over what to make my next toy out of, and this thread has already helped out... not to mention true duals on any car that came stock with the LS2.

I have to ask, though... how hard is it to drop an LS2 into an F-bod? Any hangups with sensor positions? And would a FAST 90 intake bolt up to it? How bout the LS7 intake? OMG, I hate not having my T/A!!!

I'd say the LS2 is a great motor. I've redlined mine 4 times a day for 42k miles. i also went over 17k miles on an oil change. i am getting rid of it though so who knows how long it will last

If you find a 2006 spice red gto with 42k miles somewhere beware
