    How much Money you want to bet? He looked the numbers up cause I didn't believe him either and it was an aluminum block, I do know what L92 heads are, and I've seen a L92 truck intake also. Maybe GM made a mut.

    Could it be a 5.3L block from an SSR or a LS1/LS6 block, maybe LS2 or L76? If it has L92 heads on it chances are pretty high its not an originally shortblock, also. I know, lets tear that dog apart and see what's inside.

    How much you got....BOY?!?!?! THERE IS NO ALUMINUM BLOCK LQ9.

    Ok, Greg makes a good point....the Holden L76 is a 6.0L aluminum block motor. It IS NOT AN LQ9. This motor has not been sold in the US until recently when Pontiac introduced it in the G8.

    Thank You...That is what it was out of. I believe they made an alum block 5.3L for the vmax also, not sure about the heads the used on it.

    What all is involved in making this thing low compression? Just heads and pistons? Looking for a motor to build and this one seems like a good deal!

    I think the compression is around 10.3 to 1. CNC port the L92 heads to 75cc chambers and that should put you in the upper 9 to 1 CR.
