Default Texas Speed 383? can we use it?

I found a guy that had his C5 wrecked, and was looking into buying his fully built Texas Speed 383 from him. I was gou=ing to build my LS2 in my 05 z51, but this may be a better route. It has the boost cam in it and I am already procharged on 8psi. Can/will this drop right into the car? I would be getting solid mounts with it as well as the fuel system/everything on the engine. Would this work for me? I am shooting for 800-900 rwhp and with the lunatti rotating assembly, this will allow me to do it. Any help is appreciated!!!

I believe they should both be the 24x relucator wheel on the crank. I do not think there be a problem. You will still need to upgrade the fuel system (up to the engine). The driveline behind the engine will need to be able to handle the power.

Ls1's have the knock sensors in the valley pan cover while ls2's are on the side of the block. You will need to run your valley pan cover and drill/tap the block for the knock sensors.

how can I make the cam sensors work? I do believe my main tech said that is different as well. Any other ideas on the knock sensor to make those work?

I'm not sure if the cam sensor is different, but if it is you should be able to run your ls2 timing cover/cam sensor.

I know there is a harness adapter to go from ls1 to ls2 style, I'm not sure if anyone makes it the other way around though. Only way I've heard of is drilling/tapping the block.

That 383 is most likely a 24x reluctor wheel.

Give us a call, I have a 402 6.0l aluminum shortblock in stock that we can make ya a good deal on.
