I was just suggesting that MAYBE GM did the same thing with the LS1, and LS2 that they did with the 3800 III and 3800III
Turns out I was right.
Check out the latest edition of chevy high performance, I just found my copy this morning.
LS2 con rods = Ls1 con rods
Ls2 crank = Ls1 crank
Ls2 Pistons = 6.0L truck pistons
Ls2 cam is a very slightly updated LS6 cam Still interchangable with an LS1.
LS2 uses LS6 heads, same casting and everything, with LS1 valves instead of the LS6 sodium filled valves. Its not a new engine at all, it was slapped together from parts already in the GM system. Its an aluminum version of the 6.0L block that Z28 and Transam guys have been using for years.
The only new part on the engine other than the aluminum block, is the intake manifold which looks similar to ls1/ls6, but flows more.
