The L92 Heads DO NOT WORK on LS1's!!! You MUST have a 6.0L OR LARGER to use them! (LQ4 / LQ9 / LS2 / L92 / LS3 ect...) The LS1 bore is slightly too small for the L92 Heads.
The L92 Intake Manifold is ENTIRELY different. It has to be used with Cathedral port heads, L92 Heads for example. You CAN use your LS1 intake on the L92 engine, but you must ALSO use LS1 heads on the L92 engine... So if you use your LS1 intake manifold on the L92, you MUST ALSO use LS1 heads... You can't use the L92 Intake manifold on the LS1 because the heads won't work on the LS1.

Re: l92 help
What is this motor going into? If it's an F-Body, I'm not sure if it will clear the cowl and hood.
