Especially since LPE has the adapter box so you dont have to deal with the relucter wheel etc...

Would require a lot of work as it is a dry sump unless you bought an aftermarket wet-sump set-up.

You may find the LS2 needs a bigger radiator. the LS3 DEFINITIVELY needs a bigger radiator. The LS3 also highly benefits from adding a dry sump, if your doing any kind or performance driving or racing.
