Default ls1 into ls2 car

I did a search but didn't find an answer. Has anybody swapped an ls1 into a ls2 car and what was involved?

The Crank reluctor is different. I don't know if anyone makes a conversion box to backwards like that. Use the ls2 knock sensors, extend the cam sensor wiring. Other than that it would bolt right in.. Biggest prob is the crank.

is the cam sensor the same plug. I had planned to pull the cranks and swap out the reluctor wheels.

I don't think the reluctors come off and on very nice and u gotta have it back on exactly where it's supposed to be. I think the cam sensor plugs are the same but u have to swap the a and c wires around.
