Default Stock L92 shortblock?

I've just bought an 04 GTO, and I'm fixing to start on a couple of performance mods......I'm on a pretty tight budget, so I figured the L92 would be the best option to gain a little displacement.....Am I going the right route?

Where's the cheapest place to get a stock L92 shortblock?


This car isn't going to be a full built race car or anything, just a Daily Driver/Weekend fun with a little more power on a budget......What's the best way to go about it?


I was thinking L92, Stock Ls6 or L92 heads, keep my Ls6 intake if Ls6 heads, or go L76 intake if L92 heads, good cam, long tubes, tune, etc....

I'm only looking for 425-450ish rwhp, so it shouldn't be a hard goal to get

What do you consider cheap?

I have a new (never ran) L92 long block. It has 6.2L aluminum block, L92 heads, truck oil pan, valve covers, truck water pump and flex plate. I also have the exhaust manifolds and injectors, though they are removed and I doubt you would use them in your application.
$3500

It was in a derailed freight car. The intake was busted, GM wrote it off.
