Default ls1 with ls3 heads?

does anyone know if the LS3 heads will clear ls1 cylinder walls? i know the l92 wont because it requires a 4.00" bore so ive read multiple times, but I am unsure of the ls3 parts whats the difference? any info is good info.
Are these the same headsposibly...
Mostly Now i rethink this post I am curiouse about fitting the new l92 car intake on the ls2 heads or ls6 heads is that ossible? I know i have found these intake around alot cheaper then a fast 90mm and that sounds like a decent upgrade for an intake.

The LS3 has a larger bore than the LS2, so LS3 heads won't fit an LS1, either.

Its too bad, because they would provide some awesome gains if they would fit.

i dont know where you read about the ls2 heads but they will fit an ls1, they are ls6 heads with a different casting. the ls3/l92 heads will not fit.

LS2 heads will work, they are essentially the same as the LS6 heads.

LS3/L92 heads will NOT work, they require a bigger bore (4.00 I think).

As noted above, Mast has some small bore LS3 heads that will go and use LS3/LS7 drivetrain and LS3/L76 intake but they are not quite available yet.

For bolt on and go, AFR205s are best. If you're willing to change more of the valvetrain (rockers), the TFS215s are also incredible. You can get budget heads for less that are also quite good.

But the heads will fit a 6.0L bore that is 4.00", but not an LS1 with its 3.9" ish bore.
