It will require some fabrication. Post this question on the "Hybrid" forum for some details.

Putting in an LS2 will be nearly identical to swapping an LS1 in.

The Hybrids section is full of info on this, and I'd also be glad to help - just email or PM me.

A word of caution though - it is not a cheap endeavor. You could sell your car and just buy a much faster, newer car for the same money. Not trying to discourage you, but especially with a V6 car as a base, there will be a LOT of upgrades to do besides just the engine.
