the 02 lesaber didnt have the series 2 that is only in the 04+
and the you will need to swap injectors, and get a TB adapter if you plan on using the upper intake

First of all - Thank you for all the help !!! I appreciate it. So as I type this , we are in the middle of doind the swap. The yard(*) that I spoke with said I need to swap the oil pan / pick up tube & harmonic balancer. My tech believes I can use the harmonic balancer off of the 03 Lesabre engine ( series 3 ) - **** anyone know if this is ok or do I indeed need to swap the harmonic balancer over ??? ***** thanks again -

The oil pan..OMG save the 03 pan and pick up tube. Actually..take a picture. I'm almost positive you can keep the aluminum pan and pick up right on that motor.
Balancer should be fine. Check the flywheels closely. Some of the converters were smaller and you don't want to use the wrong flywheel bolt holes.
