You'll need to mill the heads approx. .035" to get the chambers to 64cc. That will net you just over 11:1.

Good luck.

After doing this will the intake still fit? Will you need different size push-rods? Thanks

Milling .035" puts you into an area between commonly available pushrod lengths. The amount you mill has a direct effect on lifter preload. There are other variables such as valve tip length, cam base circle diameter, head gasket thickness and lifter length. Different manufactureres making different parts can have tolerance changes that can add up to an amount that can make a difference in lifter preload. In short, there's no real hard answer. Without knowing any of the varibles, if it were my engine I would first check lifter preload with a .050" short pushrod.

Would it be the same .035" if the block was an L98/L76? the block is basically the same as an LS2 right?

If you mean the L92 or the L76, they are two different bore engines. The l92 has a 4.065" bore and the L76 has a 4.00" (the same as LS2). The swept volume is slightly different and therefore the compression ratio will differ slightly.

This is with stock gaskets is it please Richard on the L76 block.

Also Phoenix_Master did mean L98 thats what they call the L76 motor with the DoD stuff removed here in OZ .... I kid you not . Rather confusing for you guys as it can get mixed up with the vette motor.

cheers

Gottcha! I was indeed thinking of the old Vette engine. Are the Vvt units available there too?

That cam has a lot of lift, but the short duration and 117ºlsa should help keep the valves away from the pistons.

Good luck,

Richard

Not yet Richard but we think it will be in a Cadillac to start with. Not too sure on all the details but as GM is a world wide company most engine combos should be available all over eventually. I suspect the LS3 will be the HiPo option for HSV and the L92 will replace our L98 when they refresh the model range.

Cheers

Sorry for the bump but will milling my L92 heads to 0.035" have PTV problems with a 216.5/232.1 0.631/0.590 116 LSA cam?

Appreciated
