Black2003SS Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Unfortunately tracks dont like to open up here in snow blanketed and freezing rain covered Michigan. Joe, The setup sounds sweet. I wonder how it compares to a maggie truck? Not trying to setup a race, just really curious, so I look forward to your times as well.

detjoe Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) Yea, I missed my last track outing b/c I dropped the trans to figure out what was wrong with my TC/Trans...I ended up having to use a hot wrench to get the TC out.

Black2003SS Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 what dose a set of L92 heads costwhat dose a set of L92 heads cost Alot less than anything else out there. They can be found for under $600 a head complete. Then you will also need to purchase an L92 truck intake or L76 car intake because the LQ9 stock intake from our trucks wont fit the L92 heads. Then you will also probably need larger injectors and should also grab a cam. I think Joe did his setup, like it says, on a budget. If you do all the wrenching yourself, and follow some of Joe's tips in this thread, you can do it probably in the $2k-3K range, and thats with a better torque converter and LT headers too.

shadowsniper3006 Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) Joe, what is the difference in the 2 injectors? are the o-rings just a different size or is there something else to look out for? "Marine 42lbs injectors: I am using these so I cont have to mod the fuel rail and can still have the added fuel I will need. I swapped the o-rings from the L92 truck injectors. This also keeps me from changing the injector ends, I don't want any electrical gremlins." also, what intake gaskets did you use, do the lq9 gaskets work or do you have to use ones for the l92? I know you said you used the gm head gasket but do you know what bore size is for the gasket? I think the 6.2 is a 4.065 bore but the gasket must be bigger i just don't know how much. thanks much Brad Edited January 6, 2009 by shadowsniper3006 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detjoe Posted January 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 I used the orings off the truck intake. I read about guys haveing them leak if using the stock oring, so I swapped the L92 injector orings to the 42's the new gm mls gasket is for the 6.0/6.2L applications...

skeet Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 i used O rings from my 6.0 stock injectors worked fine, used them on my 42#s. using edelbrock fuel rails works well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
