Talking Wiring a LS1 to be a LS2?

Hi,

I have a odd question for you guys. I have a LS1, and I would really like to use the new GM Stand Alone PCM and Wiring Harness that they just came out with. One problem.... Its only for the LS2, LS3, and LS7. So I am going to build my LS1 to be a LS2 from a electrical point of view. I just need some help on the parts that I will need to pull this off. Here is what I know so far, and what I have questions with.

1. I will get a crankshaft with the 58x trigger wheel and crank sensor.
2. I will get the LS2 coils from MSD, anyone know if i need the extension coil wiring harness with these?
3. I know the knock sensors were moved on the LS2, but could I use the stock LS1's?
4. I will get a ported LS2 intake with the LS2 Throttle Body.
5. I think the cam sensor was relocated/ changed on the LS2, however I am unsure.

If anyone can assist me with these questions/ tell me what i may be missing, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

58x crank, 4x cam sensor, 4x cam gear for the timing chain, and a drive by wire throttlebody should do it...

So this can be done... Can you intall a 4x sensor in the original location of ls1 motors or do you have to get the ls2 timing cover.
