The heads will work it's just the newer heads L92, LS3, LS7 that use a differant intake. I have bought alot of stuff from ebay, but I don't know if I would try a forged assembly. I haven't looked on there in awhile but they used to be all 10:1 compression and up. For FI you need to lower comp.

Not trying to diss the parts, but for 900+ HP I would like to make sure of what I had, by getting it from someone I know and/or trust.

Thanks deadmanTA ,

can you let me know, which company is a honest and has good price?
The eBay stuff has low CR pistons, but I don`t know how good the rods are.
The Camaro T56 can fit to 6,0 truck block without changes?

thanks in advance
