SSplaytoy Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Depending on which heads you want, there may be a gain to be had or a loss. Which heads were you looking at and do you ever plan on adding boost or spray? Your overall goals for what you want to do should depend on the heads you pick now unless you like swapping them out. If you're just gonna do a simple head swap, then you'll need new gaskets, possibly intake manifold gaskets depending on their condition, new coolant, exhaust gaskets, hardened pushrods and springs if you'd choose to and swap out your stock tc too.

SSplaytoy Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Your stock manifold won't work with those heads because the ports are different. You would need a different one compatible with the l92's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_aSSet Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) for L92 swap you need L92 intake manifold, air intake tube, LS3 or L92 87mm TB, X-link TB adapter(v2) 8 offset intake rockers, head gaskets, head bolts and exhaust gaskets Edited May 20, 2011 by The_aSSet (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
