414 with l92 heads I am getting ready to do a swap for my truck and I was wanting to do a 414 with l92 heads. Does the truck intake flow better than the l76 or does the l76 intake restrict flow and is only for limited space projects?

I too would like to see flow data with L92 head and intake setup.

The big ugly flow numbers are actually pretty good on the Vortecs, better than the LS1 intake.

obviously you didnt read or understand the article you just posted the link to.
This was the most rare piece of LS equipment in the country at the time these pictures were taken. The highly hyped L76 intake has been borrowed from a production Holden V-8. The L76 intake or PN 12590123, is what you need to match the L92 heads to your 6.0-liter Gen III/IV.
This is incorrect?
Understood from Holden K. I see big ugly still exists with rectangular ports.

L92= intake being used on trucks
L76= intake being used in place of L92 due to limited space

that is correct, but the only reason the L76 intake is needed is bc you cannot fit the large truck intake on the passenger cars.

Use the 4.125" crank with this block, nice price.
What 6.0L block are you referring to LQ4 or LQ9? GM squaks about the wall thickness being maxed. Guys here have gone larger. Do a search, but the L92 is the answer for the money.

Yes you can as I had this exact same type of motor built for me by a tuner here 5 years ago. Just make sure the complete motor is BUILT by somebody who REALLY KNOWS what they are doing or you could have issues like i did with oil consumption and even my Callies 4.125 crank failing (but the crank issue should be a non issue for you) as long as the engine is built by somebody who really knows what they are doing.
You also need to get the ironblock sonic tested to make sure there is proper strength and cylinder wall thickness if she is getting bored out to 4.060!
You are better off in my opinion sticking with a 4 inch crank for 414 cubes as i believe the motor will last longer from a longevity standpoint, will use less oil and will have room left over in the cylinder walls for a rebuild if ever necessary! 4 inch stroke has the best track record on LS series motors and that is why you see companies lik KATECH sticking to 4 inch strokes in their motors built for GM RACING! 
Also, if you are planning to stay N/A i would stick with an alum. LS2 block or L92 block posted above for less weight restriction, etc.!
