$$LS6 TO LS2 Conversion$$

Hey guys, how hard would it be to convert my 04 z06 from the ls6 to the ls2?? And would my current vortech s/c setup work on it?

Heheh, I seem to be following you around. Doing the conversion isn't cheap. It can be done and your SC will work fine with it. Most of the external parts will swap over. The LS2 uses 243 heads. Try looking at a forged 402 or 403. With the right setup and your SC you'd be making ~800rwhp

Hey Robwilson, send me a PM, what did it cost for that 402 in Texas? Been looking into one myself.

Hey, if I was to put like 800 hp to the wheels, what would need to be beefed up on the stock z06 rear end???

Chris,

I tried to PM you and got a message that you can not receive PMs. Send me a PM or email me at robertwilson2@***.net and I will reply.

I recommend calling Phil at DTE and tell him your goals for your car and how you plan to use it (street, dragstrip, road racing, etc). He will help you figure out what you need to do.

I have a DTE stage 2 differential with micro-polished 4.10 gears, billet pinion shaft support, and DTE strut brace and I'm putting down just under 500 rwhp.
