Now...my question. Knock sensor placement? Side of the block like the LS2? If so, I'm guessing the LS2 valley cover might fit? Maybe not?

I am very interested in the new heads that will be available. When will we start seeing some flow numbers and ofcourse dyno/track numbers with these heads. If they are as good as I was told, they will be very interesting.

Top head bolts are in intake port below level of floor (just like SB2 Nextel Cup heads).

There aren't plugs over the head bolts, the head bolts are just below the surface (exposed) on the intake ports. With the combos that will be built with these blocks and heads (mostly power-adder setups), there isn't really a concern for any turbulence caused by those small pockets. Look at how well the SB2 stuff performs with the same setup.

There are plugs actually, but they are for the "access hole" that the heads have so you can get your wrench in to tighten the bolts. The the intake ports actually have two holes in them. And your right, the exposed holes in the intake ports should neglidgibly(sp?) reduce air flow. I'm sure they can bee filled in with something.
