It would probably be a l76.. I would think. Quite a bit, things like reluctor wheel, throttle body etc.. there is some good threads on other forums covering it. Its z very worthwhile upgrade though.. like getting a stroke :-)

Nup.. LS2 is 243 casting and HSV, SS's had L76 with rectangle ports.. They where DOD engines without the DOD, then L98's, L77's, L something else.. the holdens have had a fair few variations of the L series motors.

yeah the L92 is the one you are missing, and the 241 is ls1 #5483 casting number or something like that for the L76/92/98

I'm pretty certain that the VZ SSZ was only released in the LS1 5.7L, holden slapped on all the options to clear out the 5.7's before the 6L was released - so if it's out of a SSZ i'd be making sure it's an LS2

Agree there, but the SSZ model wasn't release with a 6L.

At all? It was the first SSZ wasn't it? They only did it with series 1?

Bout 200% certain only 5.7L, coz I was spewing I brought mine about 3 or so months before they were released and were selling for the same price as the standard SS $49900 at the time.
