Well that about sums it up, are there any other 6.0 motors that came with L-92's ?

Also what pistons and what is the stock compression of a LY-6 ?

Any other info on LY-6's would be greatly appreciated.

The aluminium L76 too. Come with VVT & AFM

The iron LY6 has dish piston -6.5cc, around 9.6:1 of compression. Come with VVT only.

Sorry... but the vvt/afm parts are inside the engine. I think you would be better off purchasing a LQ4 OR LQ9 and adding a set of L92/LS3 heads and L76/LS3 intake kit to save you some money and head aches along the way.

... unless you get an L76 from a G8 GT, in which case you don't get VVT. AFM only.

Remember those have 58 tooth reluctors and are VVT, so there is going to be more costly things need done to it to swap over into a LS FBODY.

I just purchase two 04 Escalade LQ9's with 67k & 71k miles for $550 each, one used set of L92's heads $425, new set of LS3 $675 and two take-off LS3 intake,injectors,rails for $275 each. So thats $1200-1400 for basically for the same engine, but with a much better intake and has a 24 tooth reluctor wheel.

BTW, these two engines will be installed in a 67 Buick Skylark and 98 TA.

Why is the reluctor wheel a concern? Just get the supporting pcm.

Thats the exception to the rule, most of the time those are over $1000 each.

if the engines have a 58x reluctor wheel, you'll need a 58x to 24x converter from Lingenfelter. It runs about $250. Thats all u need really, other than just switching over sensors, brackets, etc.

You will also need the cam sensor adapter harness and the knock sensor adapter harness. I have seen at least one of the vendors here advertising them.

^^ Totally forgot about that. lol
Texas Speed and alot of other bigger sponsors on here sells the stuff you need. They offer a whole gen 4 (LS2) conversion kit. It comes with a front timing cover with cam sensor, valley cover, timing chain, lifter trays, and the harness for the knock sensors and the cam sensor and etc. It's all there for about $300.
