UPDATE: Sold the L92's for 600. Decided to just wait until i figured out for sure what heads i wanted to use (leaning towards some 243s). Then sure as **** 2 days ago a regular customer pulls up in his 06 vette, but i notice its got a little lope to it. He took it to Scoggin Dickey and had them put on a compete L92 top end, and threw in a little cam while he was at it. I mentioned to him i was kinda looking for some 243's. The next day he calls the shop telling me 200 bucks and i can have his stock 243's
SCORE.

So the new setup will be a referbed ly6 6.0 shortblock, 243's, and a custom cam nothing to big but not to small, something streetable but well performing.

What compression will the 243's give you on the 6.0 block? Good luck with the build. I will be doing something very similar to my truck this summer so I will be watching it very closely.
