L92/LS3 offset intake rockers
L92/LS3 rocker stands
L92/LS3 4.065 head gaskets

Flycut the pistons now so you aren't limited to cam choices.

LS2 injectors are probably not going to be enough, you might want to get them resized if you what some good power. Call FIC, http://fuelinjectorconnection.com

I am running am EPS http://www.engpwrsys.com/ custom cam right now, I did not get it to the dyno or the track in time to get any numbers, our weather went down the tubes.

I have a 234/236 .602/.606 114+3. These are Geoff Skinners proprietary lobes from Comp. I street tuned it and this thing runs great. I had to bump my injectors up because my duty cycle went from 80% to 97%, they are now back at 75%.

Because of the size of the intake valves in the L92/LS3 heads, the intake rocker is offset shaped so it can reach over to the valve stem. The exhaust is in the same location as the regulator LS1 type head.

The Ls3 valves have hollow stems making them lighter. Try http://sdparts.com for the valves.

The bolts are fine. Yes, you will need new pushrods, or at least check them to make sure.

Katech has a fuel rail spacers kit for adapting the rail to the intake.

I think they are Katech.com

Not everyone on here actually does all of their own work so the shop would know, not them.
