You have any ideas? PM me so no thread jack anyone
You could always use afermarket rails and regulator? Or I think Qwik is using his 97/98 vette rail with his new L92/L76 setup.

Richard, I'm really looking forward to seeing your program for these heads. I've been eyeing that new 427 L92 shortblock that SDPC just introduced.

Yea, that's where I got the idea for the 1997 ls1 rails. Just wondering if there were any other options but it shouldnt be to hard to fit.

Each is designed the way it needs to be designed for proper drivetrain packaging.

Another way to look at this is if you put a car intake on a truck application, how will you get the intake duct installed to the inlet side of the TB without running into the fan/shroud? The water pumps are made differently for the same/similar reasons.

Steve, take a look at this post. Speartech offers a tensioner relocator, using an L92 water pump (for cable TBs), then you can use the LS1 intake, which the L76 is very similar to ... in terms of the TB position.

Richard, I would be very interested in trying out a pair of your new L92 heads ... possibly on a twin turbo race application (Z28) using the truck manifolds.

yea for my setup im using the 97/98 vette rail for my 02 truck. to use on the L76 intake you will have to tweak the mounting holes to line up with the mounting holes and use spacers...ill get pics once my valve seals come in for my other head...motor is together minus one head

Hi George,
I'm almost done with the Stage 2 program. Maybe another week or so. Depending on your build, you might want to stay tuned for our Stage 3 L92 program. It'll have more to offer especially on the intake side. That should follow in about 4-6 weeks. Feel free to give us a call at the shop and we can chat about it.

Richard

Hot damn. The next few months could get rather fun.


Richard, is it cool if I PM some questions about a possible build I have in mind?

PM any time. Better yet you can call us at the shop. There's been a lot of interest in the L92's and we're getting to the point where we can produce an economical head with great flow capacity. We're about a week away from making this happen so stay tuned.

If you were to bolt the stock L92's onto your 6.0l engine you would have about .1 of a point in c/r more than the stock 317 or 035 heads.
