Default LS2 Block in LS1 Application

I would like to build my own 402 stroker. Will the LS2 block directly interchange in a 99 C5 LS1 application? I assume all accessories such as oil pan, brackets, motor mounts, knock sensors, heads, bellhousing, starter, etc from the LS1 will bolt up to the LS2 block.

What additional items are needed other that the stroker crank, rods and pistons, to do the swap? Thanks,

Paul

no they dont. Most of the LS2 parts are not the same as the LS1/6 parts.

Here is some very good into on LS2 and LS7
