Not sure why you would want to do the swap, but moving this to C5 Tech. If you don't get an answer there, ask to have it moved to C6 Tech.

You "Can".... Not sure why you'd want to. The LS2 is superior to the LS6, imho, much less the LS1. There's going to be a reluctor wheel issue, as well as a few items to do with the PCM. Guys put LS3s and LS7s in C5s, so it stands to reason you can go the other way. If you're looking to replace a blown up LS2 and you've got an LS1/6 sitting around, I'd personally find someone willing to swap an LS2 for your LS1/LS6 and just go back to that. Life is too short to do all that work to downgrade the car.
