will a ls2 oil pump fit a l76? last part i need for my dod delete and cam swap and just want to be 100% sure.

also, will ls3 valve springs work with my heads?

 

Yes, the oil pump will swap over.

What springs will work depends on the cam you have. If you have an aftermarket cam, chances are that you need aftermarket springs as well.

 

thanks for the reply.

decided just to run a ls3 cam for now until i get a blower.

 

In that case, the stock LS3 springs should work fine.

 

Don't L76s have L92 heads? So they will have the SOLID intake valve. LS3 springs won't cut it. TIFWIW

 

is it worth swapping to ls3 intake valve then? i seen a few people do it. also what about exhaust valve?

 

so will i have to get the ls3 valve stems or not? don't want to pay the $200 unless i have to.

 

The LS3 intake valve has a hollow stem. I'm going to swap them on my stockfish LY6 for insurance. $20o.oo is CHEAP for a piece of mind. One guy (Tiresmoking in CONVERStION section) did his and lapped them in. No need to have a shop do a VJ if they are in good shape.

 

What springs do you think come on the L92 heads?

 

$20 each + postage to Australia seems abit much for something that will be no good for when i start running boost. maybe im better of just getting the pac 1219 valve springs and then im good for when i want to upgrade the cam to something bigger?

 

i dont get how that works though since the ls3 springs are better then the stock l92 ones? i guess since the extra lift?

 

ARE THEY THE SAME SPRING? I figure they would be different.

 

With the hollow stem valves, the LS3 doesn't need as much spring load as an engine with solid stem valves to control everything, but it did get slightly stiffer springs.

The LS3 has LS6 springs. They have a little more open pressure than the L92/L76 springs but the same seat pressure.

 

Guess i better order some ls3 valve stems then.

Cheers.
