ok i am quite the newb, but mechanicaly inclined i want to build a ls2 and get it in to my v6 camaro. what i am wondering rite now if i swap the k member out of the v6 and get after market k member for the ls1 camaro, will the motor mount up the same as the ls1 with an ls2 in it or am i going to custom make mounts? and oil pan is there a certain style oil pan that i should look into getting

 

probably just the stock oil pan. ask whoever you order the kmember from. i think they may be the same mounts

 

ok thats what i was thinkin thanks i no the made the ls engines pretty interchangeable

 

where you from in nj?

 

Do you know what your getting into? How the motors are not in any way shape or form interchangeable. Your going to need jsut about every engine related part from a LS1 donor car. There is a sticky on the forum that list a lot of info about a V6 to V8 swap.

 

yes sir i knew what i was getting into i did not mean the 3800 and ls 1 i ment ls1 and ls2 are interchangeable but i dont have to worry about this as much as i love my camaro it has to go but found a nice fox body mustang at a great price so shell has to go if any one is interested ill sell 800 bucks or best offer or its going to be another camaro in a scrap yard for shell body is a lil beat up needs some body work def paint rear quater has dents only on driver side 3800 series 2 engine is just gunna roll where ever the shell rolls to email me if interested bootscraper619@aol.com

 

Be careful - LS1 and LS2 are NOT directly interchangeable, though many parts are common. LS2's are drive-by-wire, and most use a 54x reluctor wheel for engine timing. (Some early '05 GTO's used a LS1-style 24x though) In addition, the knock sensor and cam sensor are in different locations, too - so you can't use a stock LS1 harness without modifying it.




Oh, and it seems a little odd that a day after you posted about the swap, you're ditching the car altogether for a Fox body...

 

Where are you located?!
