I would also comment that neither the displacement nor intake was mentioned

That seems like it must be a specialized application. Whatever you are looking at, that person has information I don't have, so i cannot explain it. I just know that the common street cars you see, it would work against the typical combinations of parts.

OK. I still don't have enough information to know what the builder is trying to accomplish. On the surface it looks like a mismatch, but there is information I don't have....

416 CI, 6.2 block with TFS LS7 heads, 60 degree IVC cam, and compression under 13, (which could mean 12.99765), and a CID intake, scattered over four posts. You haven't told me what the builder or owner is trying to accomplish, what vehicle it's going in, what transmission, or even the other three valve events of the cam, or if it's solid vs hydraulic. So I don't know how to answer the question, beyond what I've said. On the surface it looks like a mismatch, but I don't feel like I have enough information to make any kind of reasoned opinion. And you haven't just linked me to the article, so it sort of feels like a trap is being set.

I feel like there's more here than what you're telling me.

The generalities would be high compression, high rpm, a solid roller that will actually be 57 after lash, or boost, or some combination of all of the above. Those are the generalities without a more complete picture.

It was a loaded question from Smokey..... The reason is for the larger intake valve and smaller bore.

OK. That kind of makes sense. So it really is not a typical street motor, which was what I thought. Kind of reminded me of Eric Roycroft's motor with the LS3 headed 5.3. I had typed that up and then deleted it. Wish I had left it in now... In a case like that, there is so much customization going on that a lot of the regular stuff you see everyday kind of becomes the exception to prove the rule, so to speak.
