Is there any way to distinguish [Sp?] between the LS2/L76 and L98's without intake manifolds or exhaust headers?
Cheers
P.S. I know the L98 has VVT byt is that hidden behind the water pump and front cover?

L98 is an LS2 6.0 block with L92 type heads (5364,821 or 823 castings).
It does not have VVT or AFM (Displacement on Demand).
L76 is an LS2 6.0 block with L92 type heads (5364,821 or 823 castings).
It does not have VVT.
It does have AFM (Displacement on Demand). Hence the funny valley plate and electrical connector on it leading to solenoids.
