The engine is here ... time to jump start the learning.
I picked up an LS2 off eBay a few months back to take advantage of a New Year's sale. Just got it out of storage and started looking at what I have. I don't have any experience with engines and know I spent hours researching and trying to find the best deal. Not sure why I went with an LS2, I think I was intending to go with a basic engine I could upgrade in the future but this is what I ended up with. It's a 2006 GTO 6.0L LS2 ENGINE TREMEC T-56 6-SPEED TRANSMISSION.
I assumed I got an engine that would be ready to drop in and use, but it looks like I have some learning and modifications that need to be made. The first thing I noticed was the power steering reservoir and the connected power steering pump. And then I saw the AC condenser/pump. I was thinking if I could use the AC condenser/pump, but it looks like I will run into space issues. So I am planning to pull both of these off and size a new belt.
I assume I was getting the ECU and wire harness with the "complete" engine but I guess I missed that in the auction description. Looks like I will also need to source my own engine cover... not sure how to confirm everything else is there and/or what is missing. I will need to read up on wiring harnes and ECU's. Will also need to determine the best hydraulic clutch to use.
