Default LS7 in a 02 Z28?

Ok, i have never posted on this forum before and I did look briefly at the stickies and didnt see anything. My father works for GM and told me he could get a great deal on a crate LS7, my question, what would need to be done to drop it in my 2002 Z28 M6.

Will my headers work? Will i need a new harness? New ECM? anything else?

Any suggestions would be apreciated before i serioulsy consider another dumb move on my part.

Thanx

I dont know why you would want to drop a ls7 in your z28. For the same price you spend on the ls7 you could make well over that 500 hp that you would get from the ls7.

Considering this question is asked weekly maybe we should make a sticky.

Your crank shaft reluctor wheel is different, therefore it will not work straight up. You would need a different crank or pcm. Not sure how the computer stuff would need to be changed.
