Default L76 information

Hey just recently purchased an 08 L76 from a wrecked z71.. the car was on fire and the motor got a little damage.. the motor mainly is discolored.. i pulled off the truck manifold and the heads are 823.. i was wondering what the best way was to clean the black carbon from the fire off the motor. i was also wondering what will need to be done to put this motor in a f body.. i recently found this thread from 07but was wondering if there were any updated part numbers...
The L92/L76 Truck exhaust manifolds, water pump, balancer, accessory drive, oil pan, or intake assembly will not work in an f-car... PLEASE HELP.. i just ordered my ls3 intake from 2010 camaro w fuel rails and injectors..

You will need:
*Replace L92 truck intake with L76 car intake
*LS2/LS3/L76 fuel rail (they're the same)
*MAP sensor from your LS1 (If you're using LS3 intake and MAP-you'll need Katech LS3 MAP adapter)
*40# L76/LS3/LS7 injectors
-New balancer bolt
-Cam Gear Bolts
-12596023 Early LS2 1x Timing cover w/cam sensor-Supposedly later style 4x will work
*12588670 LS2/LS3 Black Timing Chain Tensioner
*2001 and Newer LS1/LS6/LS2/LS3 Standard Volume Oil Pump (The L92 one is High Volume, I don't recommend it with your smaller LS1 oil pan)
-If you use the taller EV1 Injectors (LS1 style) you'll need a spacer kit from Katech, if you use the LS7 style injectors (shorter) you'll need the injector harness adapters from Ford Racing, Caspers, or Racetronix
-90mm Cable style throttle body
-SLP throttle cable bracket (unless you get holley 90mm TB)
-Your Throttle Position Sensor and IAC Motor from your LS1 TB
-Pull the crank and replace the 58x reluctor wheel for a 24x reluctor wheel pn 12559353 (go ahead and order some new rod bolts or upgrade to Katech ones and new rod/main bearings)
-24x Crank sensor from your LS1
-12576407 Early LS2 2x cam sprocket (your timing chain and crank sprocket are the same as the LS2 which is plenty stout enough)
*LS2/LS3 Valley Cover
*12610046 LS3 MLS Head Gasket (2 needed)
*12499225 Lifter Kit
Set of 16 LS2/LS3/LS7 Lifters
*17800568 TTY Cylinder Head Bolt Kit 04-UP Shorter Style (Does 1 Head)
*17803305 Lifter Guide Kit
Includes (4x) 12595365 LS2 lifter guides and (4x) bolts
-12557752 Oil Pickup Tube Seal
-12580627 Oil Pan Gasket
-12560696 Valve Cover Gasket (2 needed)
-12574293 Rear Cover Gasket
-Cam Kit w/ Compatible valvesprings/retainers.
-Good time for Upgraded HD pushrods also.
-Knock sensors from your LS1
-Drill & Tap block 10mm x 1.5 for knock sensors same as LS2 swap
-Knock sensor extension harness (katech or racetronix)
-MAP sensor extension harness (katech or racetronix)
-Cam sensor extension harness (katech or racetronix)
-Oil pan, windage tray, and pickup tube from your LS1
-Dipstick and tube from your LS1
-Balancer from your LS1
-Front engine accessories and brackets from your LS1
-Water pump from your LS1
-New water pump gaskets (if your l92 ones are bad...they're supposedly re-useable)
-Good time for new motor mounts while your there
-Reprogram PCM
