LS2 coils on a LS1?
I have done a few searches on here to see what has to be done to get LS2 coils to work on a LS1. Some say they will work no problems some say they won’t work at all. Has anyone done this? I have a unique situation that I have to go to LS2 coils I believe. Do the LS2 coils have a different bolt pattern then the LS1s? Is the wire harness different? Any info that you can give me would be a big help

Making the change is very easy as long as the intermediate wiring harness that is used BETWEEN the large "coil-pack" connector and the individual coils is used.
I am using the LS2/LS7 design coil assemblies on my '99. When I made the change, I used the entire LS2 coil-pack assemblies (brackets, coils and wiring harness assembly) and they bolted right up and work fine with my LS1 PCM system, etc.
BTW, before making the change I researched the wiring circuits themselves in detail and found they are identical; even the same wiring colors.

So.................smaller, lighter, more compact design that leaves more room for "packaging" and combine that with I got a great deal on two complete coil assemblies. Other than that........not much.

I just saw some on that site for $19.99 per coil. Those are for just the coils only and are a different vendor than the one I used. They're in NY.
