Default Re: Older intake on GenVI big block

I have a chance to buy a pair of almost new heads off a LS-7 second gen and I want to use them on my 70's vintage LS-6 block to restore my Motion back to LS-7 specs. I am going to have to overhaul the motor anyway (Rod Spun) so why not buy a set of pistons and use these heads. Joel sold it with the LS-7 in it but it was overheated and replaced with a new crate LS-6 before I got it. If they had a larger chamber that would not upset me too much as it will be easier to find gas for it. After running the LS-6 at a roadrace track I can't imagine needing anymore power out of it. Traction is the biggest problem. I guess they are making tires now that will do justice to the car. You can be dam sure that I am not going to hammer it too hard on a set of L-60 x15's. Last time I ran it hard on the street against a bad ass GTO I almost sideswiped him in 3 rd gear with the MT M-60's on the back.
