Default Hey guys L92 conversion "?" searched w/ no answer

Hey guys,
I get a killer deal on the L92 heads, and L76 @ work. So definately gonna make a purchase. Couple of silly questions. Am I gonna have to sell my headers since the LS1 port is round on the exhaust, and find a L92 D Shaped header now, or will the LS1 headers still bolt up? Looks like I can use the stock LS1 centerbolt valvecovers? Even though in a thread I found I seen Carbon Fiber covers I fell in love with!! HAha Once again I searched, and browsed but couldn't find the answer. If it's there link it, and I'll do the research thanks in advance!!

You might be missing the easiest detail to notice. You need at least a 4 inch bore to run those heads.

The only other option I think I would have would be just to buy the LSX Block from GMPP division which is looking like it would be the better buy vs sleeving if I wanted to pick my internals...Because I will get it for cost as well

If you don't care about weight..look into a LQ4/9 block.

I woudl look either way, but since I can get the LSX at cost through work. It's kinda of a no brainer, and a black to last a lifetime, and be strong enough for any build I through at it...
