I've been reading up on this little gem over on tech...

A bored and storked 6.2 will be the poor mans 427!

Plus those heads flow over 300cfm stock, and they are cheap (400 each)! The car guys have intake problems, but with all the underhood room we have, hopefully this truck intake will be adaptable. This could be the hot ticket for big bore guys.

Just some food for thought, GM High-Tech Performance had a write up about the L92 in either the jan or feb 06 issue. I'll boil it down to a few thoughts for you all.

- The L92 heads are based on the LS7 heads.
- The L92 heads flow better than CNC-Ported LS6 heads.
- The L92 heads require a engine block with a 4 inch bore (LQ4, LQ9, LS2, LS7)

So yea, i want to buy some L92 heads now...

The intake runners on the heads are raised instead of cathedral style, so you need a matched intake. So far the only intakes that work with themare the Escalade intake, and a holden intake that no one can get info on.

nope you can swap the VVT stuff with the LS2 cam and cover and I think it will drop in, the computer might be a pain since they have a trans computer now??

But to get around the VVT I have heard that it was "do"able
