I know, lived in Gainesville off 60 directly north of the 60 bridge on the little point that sticks out. 2005-2008
At that time, the lake was down like 30 feet or something. I left and that lake has been at or over full pool since then. Ridiculous. Have 2 good friends on the lake on the Dawsonville side. Was just up there for Petit Lemans at Road Atlanta. That lake is a good time!

Last boat was slipped at GM but current boat is too clean to keep in the water. Garage is going up next month to store and work on the boat and I will be a trailer sailor for the foreseeable future. lol

Yeah... it really is a more rugged/robust engine compared to all the previous generations. I will be keeping the platform alive in my boat.

Which brings to mind something said to me years ago by friend and fellow drag racer... Andy Jensen. Google his name if not familiar with him.
I had a brand new 4.500" 9.8 Merlin block in his shop to build a 555 for my brothers 69 Chevelle...
When i asked him about studding the mains and skimming thru the bores with a line-hone... he said: "Arty... you only WISH this motor made enough horsepower to need studs... the bolts are more than adequate."
So we left the bolts in there.
Here is a quick little clip from the show "Pass Time" in 2009 where my brother and I had our 2minutes of fame. This was one of my last trips down the 1320 before hanging up my helmet for good. lol:

In the LS world the OEM ECM is tied to the 24X or the 58X, so regardless if it does your Volvo ECM may not be compatible.

He just seemed to be hung up on the sensor.
My post was in regards to even if the senor does it's moot because the Volvo ECM may very well not be compatible.
