Default LS1 cam in an LS2
I've done a search on this subject and I cant really find a definate answer where anyone is sure..
Will an LS1 style cam work in an LS2 block? If not, what are the differences?

I had an LS1 gound cam in my LS2 so yes, it will work.

cam sensor is on the front, and the computer reads it differently, but the cam itself is the same.

if the cam sensor is in the front, does it take the readings from the cam gear or?

me = LS2 n00b.

Yup. The LS2 has a different timing set. I got a pretty good look at it when it broke and shot through my timing cover

As said they are alittle different. Though I've heard that they are interchangeable.
