Default Is an LS2 timing set a single row?

And would it fit an LS1 without any changes?

Yes and Yes. You can get just the chain and re-use your sprockets. GM part # 12586482.

The LS2 chain has much thicker side plates. Therefore, a much stronger chain.

I ordered a QTP two piece front cover with oil pump which requires a single row chain set. Thanks for the quick reply, the chain set was ordered from Fred Beans while the special is on.
