Car is a 2002 Camaro Z28, getting LS2 stroker.

So the 402 is in, with -10cc pistons, the 5.3s will be coming out of ths old LS1 and and my Torquer cam will be reused. so will the caddy lifters and my YT rockers or maybe Ill just use my Harland sharp rebuilt rockers, hardened pushrods 7.4" with .045" gaskets, 36# fuel injectors, TR55 spark plugs gapped at .040" , swapping over my old water pump or a new one, my powerbond underdrive pulley, my double roller timing chain, LS6 oil pump, my old oil pan, new gasket, old sensors, etc... oil coil packs, oil coils(have 100 miles on em, just like the rest of my valvetrain and heads... gonna reuse the pacesetter headers and LS6 manifold, PNP stocker TB, 85mm SLP MAF(brand new) but I got my car tuned speed density.. and SLP lid..

what else do I gotta know for this swap. Im gonna be using my LS7 clutch for the first couple hundred miles because Im gonna first break in my engine before my clutch... Im gonna use the hard break in process.... I dunno if Im gonna need to tune it before, and if so, how can I do that? if I need to break it in especially the first 20 miles?

Is there anything else I should know, in particular from doing this swap?

 

You can buy cam and knock sensor harness extensions.....or make them.

 

hmm, so thats one thing I have to modify already...

 

I ordered the ARP bolt for my pulley. it should work with all pulleys I assume, right?

i have a powerbond 25% u/d

I wanna just reuse it all the time, thats why I went with it.

 

Port your oil pump and I wouldn't break it in without a tune first...seriously. What heads and stall convertor are you using? Also, a tranny cooler would be a wise investment...

 

well since Im a M6 I dont think there is such thing as a tranny cooler..

5.3 heads and tv3 cam

my oil pump is a ported LS6 oil pump...

Im thinking

new serpentine, alternator, waterpump, etc...since its a brand new engine and my heads, cam and valvetrain have literally 100 or so miles on them...

the oldest thing on my car is gonna be the oil pan and oil pickup tube(unless the new block came with one)

Oh and my LS6 manifold is also old, but my headers have about 8000 - 10000 miles on them.

well since the first 20 miles is most crucial to break in, I cannot tune it, since Id surpass those 20 miles while its getting tuned.

my tuner said its okay touse stock injectors to break it on...

 

I got my knock sensors in the alternate. Is it better to put them into the normal placement?

 

I do not know what the difference would be in way of being effective. Whoever designed the LS2 chose the "normal" location for a reason, the "alternate" is used by people who forgot to drill and tap their holes or who have headers too close to the "normal" position.

 

Oops. I was wrong. The knock sensors are in the normal position. I thought alternate because I didn't drill and tap the hole. Looks like SDPC already did that for me when I bought my shortblock from them.

 

can someone answer my other questions?

thanks

 

Stock rear-end?..........

 

.....what fuel system (pump, injectors, pressure, etc..) are you using...stock?...

 

Moser 12 bolt, 3.73s... trutrac 33 spline axles...

Stock fuel pump, thatll be changed soon, but 36# injectors will be replaced...

I will install injectors when I tune it, for now Im gonna run my stock injectors til i break it in...
