Default LS6 intake on LS2 longblock????

If a guy has a LS6 that let go and he buys a LS2 long block, could he run the LS6 intake and TB to save money on buying the LS2 intake and TB? Also is there a huge benfit to running the LS2 stuff over te LS6 stuff? I was thinking it would be better all the way around to just buy a set of L92 heads and run the L76 complete intake set up at this point. Let me know what you guys think.

L92/L76 for sure...Any future mods you make like just a CAM will seriously wake the car up compared to the LS2 LS6 parts

Yes for sure, on stock cubes there is no difference. Makes for a very easy engine swap. Just make sure LS2 crank has 24x reluctor wheel.

Also is there a huge benfit to running the LS2 stuff over te LS6 stuff?

None unless you go big cubes or wild cam someday.

24X reluctor wheel??? Could you not just use the Katech harness that mounts the knock sensors elsewhere and puts the cam sensor on the cam cover?

You still need those harness extensions.

The cars' LS1/6 computer is going to be looking for signal from a 24x crankshaft reluctor wheel.
05 LS2's had 24x reluctors.
then it changed to 58x

Your right with this. Im just in awe at the power a LS2 longblock with L92 heads and L76 intake are putting down, with the right cam ofcourse. Then you add in a set of L92's that flow well and DAMN!

By the way this is all for a V Im looking at.
