ls2 into a 2000 ss hello, i am looking to do a engine swap into my camaro. the engine is a 2005 GTO LS2 Engine, ik the swap is possible and has been done before but i was just wanting to know the details and the run down on the actual install or will it just drop in and plug back up just like the ls1 came out?
and also i am buying the engine with the 2005 Manual T56 Tremec Six Speed Transmission and taking out the t56 i have in it now. will the tranny just slide in the same?
Also the LS1 and T56 will be for sale once it gets pulled if anyone is interested in purchasing 85,000 miles stock nothing wrong just doing the swap for performance.

The knock sensors will have to be relocated to the outside of the motor from under the valley cover. The cam sensor is also on the timing cover at the front of the motor instead of in the back. You will need extension harnesses for both of these. I believe lingenfelter makes them. Other than that everything else should be the same. As far as the tranny, you will need to swap the shifter cup from Fbody T56 to the GTO unit to retain your Fbody shifter. You'll also have to obviously swap the tranny mount over and you should be good to go.

two more questions 1. what do you guys think would be a good price to sell my ls1 and t56 for?
2. how much whp can the ls2 and gto t56 handle, shooting for 475-500whp with H/C/I

well i started with a C5 transmission, starting with his gto transmission all he needs is new shaft, tail housing and syncro rebuild kit and the only weak point would be the gears themselves... not exactly sure when they give way, seems to vary
