I looked around a bit more, hard to find photos of heads, most companies want to show off the underside or for some reason the exhaust port more than the intake ports.
They aren't LS1,2,3,6,7 or L92 heads. Guessing Trickflow or AFR but I can't find good photos of either. So probably as mentioned it had a Fast intake. Given the previous owner took off the intake before it was repoed I would seriously get the fuel tested and remove the heads as mentioned before and depending on what you see there maybe drop the lower oil pan. People like this wouldn't think twice of dropping some *$%#$@ down the intake or in the gas tank etc....

One question is are you willing to work on it yourself? It could be a fun project, or it could be a nighmare. But, if your paying someone else, especially if they are not Corvette guys, it may not be a bargin.
I'd listen very closely to what Randy has to say about it. You will be very lucky if he can look at it for you.

The LS2 has a different valley cover, the knock sensors are on the side of the block I think. Its one of the reasons why people are guessing its a LS2.

And no I cant work on it myself, I like this stuff but I just am not mechanically inclined. thanks

You are probably better off, this is a serious buyers market right now and you will be able to pick up a great deal right now. I'm doing everything I can to resist picking up a C6 from the forum. The only thing stopping me is the fact that I would have to sell my C5.
