Subscribing! What is the ci of the L92 and base hp? I am thinking about doing this as a cheaper alternative than an ls1 or ls2 swap in my 67 camaro. BTW nice 57!

stock CI

take out L92 from an Escalade

did the usual upgrades with motor install, double row timing set, oil pump etc.

With SI6 cam (235/240 .621/.609 111) we found .040" PTV clearance, heads are milled, we felt flycutting is necessary.

What is the stock CI? I am a noob to all of this but I feel like I could do the swap if I take my time. With the heads milled that increases your compression ratio, right? Also, what does flycutting do?
