bought an LS2
I bought an LS2 long block from a friend's dad who works at a dealership. it is very low mileage but has a spun main bearing
the price was right so I bought it without any vehicle to put it in lol.

theres some pictures.
Now I've never looked at any genIII/IV engine up close. Im only familiar with LT1s. this engine came with a bunch of sensors in it. can anyone tell me what these are? I have pictures with the sensors circled and numbered.
I have another one coming too from the same dealership for the same price.
now... what should I put it in?

1. Camshaft position sensor
2. Coolant temp sensor
3. Knock sensor
4. ??? (Looks to be in the oil galley-oil pressure sensor?)
5. Crankshaft position sensor
6. Knock sensor
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

excellent, thanks guys.
I have to tear it apart. they said the crank had some grooves worn in it. hopefully I can just get oversized bearings and have the crank turned down and there is no block damage.
I wouldn't count on a ton of engines being supplied to everyone. I got VERY lucky with these.

ok I took the bottom end apart. got the main caps off and all the mains are in perfect shape! Oh I was so happy. I did notice something odd... it didn't have rods or pistons. wondered why it turned over so easily.
this was my first LSx teardown and I must say, this engine is worlds better than the LT1s I am used to.
heres some pictures:
so it looks like the crank will need to be turned down some. theres only minor scuffing.
can anyone tell what reluctor wheel I have? I was too stupid to check when I had it apart.
