Default Post Up if you are buying a set of L92 Heads for a 370ci or larger setup.

I plan to get a set for a 408......... I have already bought the L76 intake... heads are my next purchase before the prices go up.... I am curious how many are seriously considering these heads.

and does anyone know where you can get aftermarket valves... I know they have a 1.60 valve... but what do ya do about the intake valve??

me goin with 375 ci 6.0 TT TH400/9 in.

using stock LS6 2.00 intake, sodium filled stem valves turned down to 1.625 for exhaust with 3 angle vj
stock 2.16 on intake polished and bowl work runner
machinist tha did them for me cost less than 100$ (SAM grad.)
i alredy had the valves, i believe the stock ls1 2.00 intake will also work
or if u have some truck 1.89 can also be turned down to size

Already have the heads and intake. It'll be next summer before y'all see the result though... we're using an LSX block. 400-427ci, exact stroke still TBD.

I'm seriously thinking 'bout it... but I take a long time to make up my mind. The price, big valves... Sure make 'em tempting.

My 6.0L block is at the machine shop getting .040" over Mahle pistons and a balance job. The L92 heads are assembled, the L76 intake is on the bench and the cam has yet to be determined. After the holidays things will move a little faster and hopefully by spring I'll have some comparative data with this engine vs. the LS1 motor that is currently in the car.

We hope to have the first available CNC ported L92 heads ready sometime late next week! I've been working on several things for them....

My L92 engine obviously has L92 heads but in totally stock form. I have a second set waiting for someone to really figer them out so they can be ready for a swap at any time. I won't be on the chassie dyno for a while yet as a cage still needs to go in before I get that far. Its a long winter here in Mi.

I can't wait till we start seeing what modifying can get these things up to.

Fraser, whuts up?..... I love the new rearend, those 3.90 gears where the perfect choice....... too bad the motor didnt last much longer. I am planning a 408 w/ L92's on a L76 intake..... just need to pinpoint the right cam size..... needs to be a little over barely streetable....

I plan to keep the SD tune though.
