I've been kicking this around also. Last I heard there was a problem with the knock sensors not working right. I 'm trying to find out if anyone has solved this or do the knock sensors still have to be turned off.

Default LS1 to LS2 Change Over

The short block that we sell comes with all of the change over parts needed to go from LS1 to LS2 except for the knock and cam sensor harnesses. They will be another $52.00. Everything else from your LS1 will transfer over.

Good to know info, I am also having an LS2 put in to my f-body.(98Z28)

Aside from the ECU, drive-by-wire, and wire harness, are their any other adaptations that need to be made to fit the LS2 into an f-body.(taking into consideration the components listed above.)

Thanks

ECU solution: Use the LS1 ECU w/ 24x trigger installed
DBW solution: UMI throttle body (which we carry)
Wiring harness solution: Cam/Knock adapter harness, MAP extension harness
Injector solution: Use LS1 injectors with our spacer kit
