Default ls3 l92 swap >>>what am i missing<<<

I will be getting a new 408 from tsp in a couple weeks and plan to run alot of boost through it. I have gotten some suggestions from some pretty knowledgeable guys that i should go ls3intake and unported l92 heads.

I know ill need new rocker arms, trottle body, fuel rails, injectors,


But what about:::

1. knock sensors??? do they remain in the factory(ls1,ls2, ls6) location or will they not fit under the new ls3 intake?

2. electrical connectors?? conversion harness ls6 > ls3 throttle body ?

3. Plan to reuse my ARP head studds, will they work on l92 heads??

Bump for some answers. I've tried searching already to a swap thread and didn't come up with anything

I relocated them to the sides of the block. I used a right angle connector to attach the l/s one.

electrical connectors?? conversion harness ls6 > ls3 throttle body ?

I used new harnesses for the can position sensor and throttle body.

I think you will need new head studs. They changed around 03-04.
