no it wont. different sensors. you will need to modify some wires.

Yes you just need to use the sensors out of the old motor, because the computer is different.All LS series engines are the same exterenally 4.8,5.3,5.7(ls1 or 6),6.0,6.2,7.0 (any i forgot) this is starting to become a game with G.M. how many LS~whatever is their going to be. every time you think you got the best stuff available a week later G.M. makes something better. Not that i'm complaing its great to be able to call and G.M parts store a buy all Aluminum 15* Small block Chevy w/ a stock clyinder head that flows #'s greater then the best heads of just 10 years ago.. Man what a great time to be a GERNAL MOTORS FANATIC, Now a Supercharged LS3, MAN I LOVE THIS COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!
