Heavier valves in the L92 and milder more torque cam for a truck in the L92.

I could be wrong, but isn't the L92 VVT and the LS3 not.

Is the L92 easier to get used? Are there any differences in building up either of them? I was thinking of installing a L92 into this 70 Camaro if the deal goes through and was wondering how difficult the install will be. I planned on going through the L92 and going with a larger cam, nice set of heads and I really wanted to keep the EFI on it as well. Would it be easier to get an LS3 that already has decent HP and just install that? Sorry for all the questions, but I am trying to learn as much as I can.

Stock heads are great as is, add hardened push rods, car intake, ls7 cam, good valve springs, headers and you have 500 HP.

As stated the L-92 heads are great as is, but if it's an 07 change the valves they had problems with the stock valves breaking that year. Check with Mast Motorsports from cams/limiters to take advantage of the VVT.

Default L-92 = Ok

We have sold our ECU-882C-1 to WaterThunder.com for over 400 L-92 engines that Dave "refits" into Air Boats.

This is what I found:

The stock weight valves will "rev" to over 7000 RPM without breakage.
The Truck Intake is always changed to the LS-3 Corvette Intake.
The Valve Springs are always replaced with "yellow" springs OR "duals" when cam lift exceeds the "yellows" .580" safe lift.
When VVT is operational (pin lock disengaged) the Pantera EFI "limiter" is used to limit Retard/Advance.
(be aware, Comps will allow for FULL ADVANCE to 4 degree Advance ONLY)
The Fuel Injector size is increased in some cases.
The Reluctor to Crankshaft reference needs to be +1.75 to +1.50. (stock reference is retarded)
Safety dictates REMOVAL of the DBW throttle body electric motor with a DBC shaft.
Ignition timing needs to modest, in the 28 degree range.

Remember the L-92 has a HIGH VOLUME oil pump the can empty some "after market" oil pans.
