help with an ls2! i have a few questions.
1....i have a ls2 that we are doing a ls3 head swap on.what head gaskets should i run? factory ls2 or a set of fel pros? i was planning on either running head studs or arp bolts.
2.... could i just use aftermarket fel pro gaskets and seals for the bottom end? because i can get them as a kit or should i go with factory gm?
3.... last, we have an aftermarket cam that we need to degree. what timing chains are you guys running to degree cams? will a factory chain work? or would i be best off with a double roller?
thanks al.

I used the stock GM L92 head gaskets. I think they are identical to the LS3. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong on that.
The only other thing I replaced was the oil pump. I installed an L92 oil pump. I don't remember the part number on the oil pump, it's been about 4 years since I did the swap.
