Getting a ls2 out of a 06 gto and need to know what all parts i need for the swap

 

if only the answers came so easy

i spent probably 100 hours of reSEARCHing... when i did mine

theres a word in there...

SEARCH

 

Lol yeah... There ar only 2867659382792 threads in the lsx section... Also check out ls1tech

 

There is just way too much info out there to easily say, "this is what you need". Go through and read the stickies and get more familiar with it first. Good luck.

Here is a snippet from it--
Where to start?

First thing you need is obviously an engine and transmission. All LS engines are externally the same regardless of origin. Whether it be from a truck, F body, Corvette, or GTO, they are all the same architecture, although there are vast differences in accessory drives, intake manifolds, and oil pan configurations. Being that the fourth gen and third gen f-bodies are so similar in so many ways, it is by far the easiest to swap a complete fourth gen f-body LS1 drop-out into your third gen. The accessory drives all fit under the hood and the oil pan clears. Truck engines offer only a usable long block and wiring harness as the oil pan, accessories, and intake manifold all need to be changed to fit into the third gen engine compartment. Corvette oil pans also do not fit and although the accessories fit it is not as good a match as a fourth gen set up. At the present time we are not certain of GTO pieces, so if you go this way post up your results. Worth noting that Corvettes use a transaxle set up so the engine is all that is usable.

 

Actually, i take it all back, send me a paypal pymnt of $25 and ill send ya an excel spread sheet of all major parts needed.

 

I might just do that when i get paid thanks

 

Thank you and i would go the forth gen route but im getting it for 1500 but no harness so when i gather all the parts i will definitly post up results

 

What do you all need....in short about $10k lol

 

Is that including engine

 

These are all on the extremely low side:

Trans and clutch 2k
Motor/cam/springs etc, Pull-out 1750, rebuilt 3k
Intake/injectors/tb 300-1000+
Fuel system for ~550 horse 500
Mounts 300
Exhaust 1200
Msc **** that you can't do without 1000
Tune 600

Here is what i was up to about 3k ago...https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/ltx-...ted-lsx-t.html

 

Motor runs good its in my friends car hes just going with a lsx 454 motor has around 40,000 on it for 2k it would include the serphantine n ecm 1500 without that

 

89 roc z nice job

 

$1500 for an LS2 motor with 40k on it is pretty good.

 

throw a cam, springs, new oil pump and timing chain in it while your at this stage too.... You wont regret it... My friends car has a 232/236 in his and it would be a nice cam for a ls2.... Or just throw a vrx5 in it and ride!

 

Whats a vrx 5

 

Anyone know if a ls1 harness will work

 

This is a vrx5 ---- https://www.vengeancerd.com/ecart/pr...7D.605-113-LSA

Nice BIG cam - we are talking maybe 430+ with this bad boy and the right setup and tune.

 

this is why i suggested this cam.. typed from vengence............................................ ** Our #1 Camshaft in daily driven LS2 equipped Vettes/GTOs/CTSVs.**

 

I love the lump of that thing. Good recommendation! Is this what you are running Nasty?

 

Nooo, im running a 239/246 .623/.615 112+3
