Nope it won't work? or nope, you don't want to spend the $$ to make it work for less than stellar gains?

It indeed CAN work. You'll have to switch the front cover over to the LS2 style cover with the cam sensor in it....LS2 timing set (or at least the cam gear)....buy the extension harness for your cam sensor or extend it yourself to reach...plug hole at back of block, etc.

Again, for the gains, you can have better results without spending that much $$!
