That is a very cool project. Thank you for sharing.

I'm way too lazy and I lack the mechanical skills to make that happen. Plus, my wife would shoot me for dropping $6k on a new motor for a $32k car. Nonetheless, I will live vicariously through you and hopefully learn a thing or two along the way.

Those heads look awesome. Are those larger valves, or the standard size for the L92 head? What cam do you plan on running? I take it you plan on stripping the L99 motor and using those parts to finish the build? Looks like it will be an awesome combo. Good luck with the build.

I take it you are building a 550HP automatic Camaro? Any reason why instead of the manual trans? BTW, very cool project Will keep an eye on this thread. Good luck and enjoy your new beast..

the valves are the standard LS3/L92 size, 2.165" intake and 1.59" exhaust, i think i will start with the same cam i had in my s-10 comp cam xr281hr, just because i know it ran very well in the 6.0L/L92 engine and it willl be tamer in this stroker engine, just till i know what my options will be for tuning the new camaro ECM, i will have almost a complete engine ready to drop in, yes small parts i will be swapping from the original L99 engine
