Overall height of LS2/LS7/L92 I've been thinking it may be time for a new forged engine to replace my LS1 and have been researching quite a bit about the LS7 and L92 top ends. The Katech LS2 value 427 short block is something i've been eyeing lately, but need some info on heads and intakes.
I know LS1/LS2/LS6 heads are the same dimensions on the outside. LS1/LS6 intakes are pretty much the same on the outside, with the LS2 being a little different and having the 90mm tb opening.
So on LS7 and L92 heads, are the heads or intakes physically taller than the LS1/LS6 couterparts? I'm talking when the engine is completely assembled, do the LS7 or L92 intakes set higher off the top of the block? If so, how much higher than the LS1/LS6?
Just wondering if i'll have a clearance problem with my T-Trim blower setup if I go the LS7 or L92 route. Thanks!

Ok, maybe I need more info. Check out the second post on the thread below.

The pic shows the L92 head being ~1/4" taller than the LS7. I'd like to know how the LS1/LS2/LS6 heads compare in height to the two heads pictured.
I'd also like to know the same about the intakes. Somebody must have an LS7 and L92/L76 intake that can be measured height wise.
The deal is, I already have limited space on top of the engine with the LS1. I'm not sure how everything would fit together if one of these two combos sits higher in the engine compartment. I already have the T-Trim setup and don't want to spend more $$$ on a turbo or Procharger setup that would allow more space.
