Default Whats needed for L92 top end on a LS2????

??? I was searching around and i need more info on whats needed for a L92/L76 top end setup on a LS2 base motor. I would like L92 heads/intake/ etc on my LS2. Is that possible on a stock LS2 or is there machine work required on the block etc (bore). THANKS IN ADVANCE i think i know the answer and this is a retardo thread to post due to ALL the info on the new L92 stuff but then again i want opinions from everyone that has actually done it on their LS2!!!! THANKS

The l92/l76 is just a drop on replacement no maching is needed. The heads work on a bore of 4" and up.

You need a set of L92 heads, L92 head gaskets, an L76 intake, and some L92 fuel rails. You can mod the LS2 rails to work...I'll post some pictures of my modded rails tomorrow.

Not quite that easy. The Chambers on the LS2 heads are ~64 cc's and on the L92 heads are ~72 cc's. This will drop your compression ratio ~ 0.5 and hurt your power somewhat. The rumor is that they need to be milled (decked) 0.030 or so. This is an important step.

Actually the CC's on the l92 are 69.8 and if u got an ls2 fuel rail it will work with the l76 intake. Also u can mod ur LS1 fuel rails to fit the l76 intake.



Volumes:
Intake runner = 260.6cc
Exhaust runner = 90.0cc
Chamber = 69.8cc

The LS2 rails are not a bolt-on to the L76 without modification (at least when using LS1 style injectors). With one side of the rails seated in the injector they are ~1/2" too wide in addition to being about a ~1/4" offset on the opposite side.

I suppose that you could try and bend them to make it work, but I didn't want to kink the x-over...so I opted to cut it and bridge it the right way.

They might be a bolt on when using an LS2 style injector!
