Default l92 builds?
I have an 08 escalade in our wreck yard we will be ending up with. Thinking of pulling the engine and building it for my 55 chevy. There doesnt appear to be many builds on the internet. Is it not an ideal engine. I thought it would be a great platform. Id like to build something in the 500hp range or more that is still streetable.

403hp ls with variable cam timing, I would look for a good tuner.

arent there pieces to eliminate that? 500hp should be easy to get with one of those

I'm looking into this now. Been considering an L92 and destroking it with a 3.1" crank. Just figuring out what I need to do cam wise to make it all work with high revs and VVT.
