Id be willing ot bet that even though the L92 block is aluminum the fact that its not a corvette part will make it cheaper than the grand for the LS2 block.

It was posted earlier in this thread, but il be nice and repost it
12584727
But still nothing comes up on gmpartsdirect hopefully well have some pricing info here real soon.
I was about to order my LS2 block next week, im sure glad i cam across this info here becaue 6.2 is always better than 6.0, especially with a factory forged crank for under 200 bucks!!!

Can somebody verify that 12582714 is indeed the correct part number for the L92 bare cylinder head. In some pics i have seen it shows the casting number on the corner of the head the last 4 to be 5364 and i just want to verify this info, why would they not have the right numbers on the heads??
Also, will the titanium con rods from the LS7 work in any other LSx motor??

Also ive noticed that nobody has listed the part numbers for the springs, retainers, locks, spring seats, seals or the pushrods, are these parts just the same ones used on the 243 LS2/LS6 heads?
Also, does anybody know if you can take this new 6.2 block and use LS2 cam and timing chain setup and build it without the whole VVT setup, that would be nice, but i dont think there is any aftermarket controllers out there that can control this stuff is there?? Id love to have the VVT and the DOD, but how practical is it when talking about a conversion to an older vehicle?

Cool, thats what i was thinking, thanks for the help.
I have 2 more questions hopfully somebady cna answer.
Does the LS7 and this new L92 head use the same size valves on both the intake and exhaust? If so id be pretty sweet to be able to run the LS7 titanium valves in the much more affordable L92 head,
Also again does the LS7 titanium connecting rods have the same dimensions as the other LSx rod, they are just made out of a stronger and lighter material, becaue agian, if they interchange that would be a hot ticket to freeing up some rotating mass, and with the L92 rods going for 80.xx a piece and the LS7 rods going for 83.xx each well its pretty easy to see whih id rather run in my motor.
Thanks for the answers guys.

As for the connecting rods, I dont know the lengths of the L-92. Hope this helps though.

Can the intake/exhaust rockers from the LS1 work for the L92 exhaust? I know the intake is offset, but if the LS1's rocker arm will work with the L-92, then that'll save about 130 dollars for heads assembled without springs, and would come to about 800 for both heads.
Also, what are the valves made out of? I can imagine they might be pretty heavy for higher-rpm usage...
Thanks,
adrian

Id be willing ot bet that even though the L92 block is aluminum the fact that its not a corvette part will make it cheaper than the grand for the LS2 block.
