2006 LS2 Engine Production Engine.
A bigger, more powerful next-generation small-block from the new Corvette!With the all-new, 400-horsepower LS2, GM has once again raised the bar for production-based small-block V-8 performance. As the standard engine in the 2006 Corvette-as well as the 06 Chevy SSR and 06 Pontiac GTO- The LS 2 is built on a new cylinder block, which shares much of its design with the previous LS1 V-8 design, including a deep-skirt, six-bolt main block with structural oil pan. Subtle differences include the crankcase vent moved to the top fo the valley, relocated knock sensors and the cam sensor moved to the front of the engine. The LS2's cylinder heads are high-flow pieces used previously on Corvette LS6 engines. High-tech features, such as an electronically controlled throttle make the LS2 a state-of-the-art performer. The LS2 crate engine comes complete with a composite intake manifold, electronically controlled 90-mm throttle body, fuel rail with injectors, balancer, exhaust manifolds, water pump and a 14-inch flexplate for automatic transmissions. It comes with a Corvette oil pan installed. Note: Pulley, belt, powersteering pump, air conditioning pump, starter, alternator and engine cover are not included with this engine. The LS2 can be adapted to older cars and street rods.
A handy reference guide (LS1 book # 88959384 See link below)is available to help install the engine in older cars with minimal guesswork.

Although written with the LS1 in mind, the dimensional
and casting similarities between it and the LS2 make this
handy guide useful when swapping a new LS2 into an
older vehicle. It illustrates all you need to do to make it
fit. The guide includes notes and technical explanations on
necessary parts, along with part numbers you can order
from your GM dealer to get the job done easily. Starting with the 2006 model year, the LS2 now comes with a 58X reluctor wheel and new camshaft sensing, and is NOT compatible with pre-06 ECMs.
