Yes, anything is possible.

You'll need an LSX K member, tranny, wiring harness and some other stuff that I'm not too sure of.

You're much better off doing a heads/cam/stroker setup to get the desired power than trying to force the LS2 into your car.

Unless you have nothing but time and money - then by all means.

Re: 97 z28 with ls2

yes pandamonkey is correct.. i'll break it down barney style for you.

you are sitting on your couch craving a chocolatey treat.
you can:

A. Plant a cocoa tree seedling in your backyard and wait

B. take the 1/2 mile drive to the exxon and get a crunch bar


option B provides better results in a shorter period of time with less effort, and money.

hope that helps

As mentioned by the above posters, the transplant would be costly and time consuming just like any swap. But on the flip side, if you have the money and time, it would definitely be a different, more unique approach.
