Ls6 Heads On A L92 Block My forged LS6 motor trashed the block and pistons, so I want to use the LS6
crank, forged rods, LS6 CNC ported heads, and a FAST 90 intake on a L92 4.07 block. This is in a 99 C5. For this L92 block I need Pistons: 4.07 with valve reliefs for the LS6 heads. Cam: new for the front cam sensor. New front engine cover for the cam sensor? New Valley Cover? Wiring harness extension for the cam sensor.
Is my LS6 oil pan OK? Rear Cover? Timing chain? Oil pump? What else?
Thanks for any input.

Does the LS2 valley cover have a baffled vent tube like the LS6?
What are you guys using for a high performance timing chain? I have a Crane double row adjustable now, that's not going to work with this new block. Are there any aftermarket sprockets/chains that are better than the LS2 chain.

Oil pan OK
Rear cover take off your old block
Make sure wiring harness extension for knock sensors (2)
Make sure head gasket is for the larger bore(no LS6 size)
And all the normal little stuff

I have the part number for the LS2 valley cover. I want to know if it has a good breather system like the LS6. A lot of you guys are using a LS2 cover, What does it look like on the bottom?

It does have some baffles. I don't remember exactly what it looks like. I'm out of state at the moment and can't look at it. I don't remember for sure if the breather was there or not. I think it was though.

Verdad Gallardo That's the threaded port for the oil pressure sensor. Unlike the LS1/6 engines that have the oil pressure sensor port in the block, the Gen IV engines have it located in the lifter valley cover. (I'm sorta new to this LS_ stuff, but since getting my Suburban in May '07, I've learned quite a bit. I bought the GMPP LS1/6 Technical Guide, and am planning to swap in an LS6 crate engine for the 'Burb's 5.3.)
