You will need different coolant pipes LS6 style, a MAP sensor extension harness, the LS2 fuel rails/injectors, and throttle body and adapter harness. I would also recommend getting the manifold ported before hand otherwise your gains will be minimal over the LS1 and worse than a LS6.

I have read a number of threads on here that the LS2 intake isn't the best unit for the LS1/LS6 motor, As said above you would be better off with the LS6 intake than the LS2.

plus the ls6 is a direct bolt on, same throttle body, same wiring, same fuel rails and injectors.
plus you can keep the coolant tubes.

The LS7 TB does not like the electronics of the C5 it will not work and end up costing you $$$$$ to find that out.
