going to the dark side *engine is in*
Mine is .595" lift and 250*/266* on a 112* LSA. I am pretty much expecting ptv clearance issues with the flattop/no valve relief LS2 pistons and L92 heads. I'm planning on doing the "flycut for free" mod using a couple spare valves and stick on sand paper. There is a thread on here about it. I already bought drill stops for a few bucks at Harbor Freight. IF I turn out to have plenty of room, I'm considering running 1.8:1 exhaust rockers to help out the weaker exhaust ports of the L92's. Haven't checked into mixing aftermarket & stock rockers on LSx motors though.

Nothing "local" around here... There is a f body salvage yard in wichita somewhere but Idk where its at. I bought one for $50 and it never showed up and the guy vanished.
In a couple weeks I'm putting another order into scoggins, for my valve springs and pushrods. Just hope i can check the length with the stock springs
