Default 2002 Z06 rebuild

Hi guys !

Starting this thread to talk about the rebuild of a 2002 Z06 i'd start in a couple weeks. I will surely need some advices and informations as it will be a huge project.

I have a complete 2003 Z06 without title and a LS1 under the hood. Beside it, i have a running 04 LS6 and i'll receive a 02 Z06 roller next month.
The idea is to dismantle the 03 and set all the parts on the 02 that has a clean title.

Here is the roller :




Here is the donor car :

Any advice on parts to replace when the power train will be out of the car ?

I'm doing the spark plugs, rear main seal plate, belts and pulley and the crankshaft damper. Shall i replace other parts such as timing chain, seals... ?

​​​​​​The engine has 5200 miles on it.

Any advice about how to do things or any other are welcome.

Get yourself a set of factory service manuals for the car that you will end up driving.

I have the 2003 shop manual. I wouldn't try doing this without that manual.
