If you have the 317 heads I'd get them ported and milled to bump the comp up with some solid springs.

The l92/l76 is really strong but not a direct swap. It involves retrofitting and modifying parts. Keep in mind you have flat top pistons on the lq9. If you mill the heads and go with a high lift cam, be sure you check the piston to valve clearance. Take it from me! Good luck on your project. It will be expensive and sometimes frustrating but is WELL worth every bit when running strong and smoking a lightning.
I ordered an Edge converter 3200 stall That's what texas speed recommended for the 228R.
