Accesory drive from GTO ,Corvette or Caddi CTS v ... complete to keep things short to motor, same for water pump..... F body oil pan or c6 vette pan NOT batwing pan.... If your staying stock with the motor the rear end is fine, but the ratio should be changed with the standard tremec 6 speed... I know a guy who has the factory standard made up to fit the LSX motors that he would sell you and that would keep you stock for gearing and drive shaft.... It will take it as long as you stay stock on the LSX motor... Corvette motor mounts and perches... And few months of research should just about do it.... Good luck Onyx
Owner of the automatic LS2 almost done just waiting on my electrical... WOO HOO

You really want to use all the Camaro bracketry for the engine, it makes it easier than the GTO stuff. The 3.73 rear end in the GXP's work just fine, even with the Tremec T56 (thats what I have) I run 2050 rpm at 80mph. There is no difference between the GTO, Solstice and Cadillac CTS or CTSV rear ends except gear ratios and front mount brackets.

My Solstice is almost complete. I too am in the process of researching for my next project. I think I am going to stuff an LS2 in a new RX8. I'm working on it right now to see if it will even fit. If you have any questions, just ask.
