Hello Please help!

I need to know the block casting numbers for:

L76
L98
L92
LS2
LS3
LS1
LS6
LS7

And where to find the casting numbers on the block.

If you can help I will love you for ever

Pete

 

Car L76 (same block casting number as LS2 and Aussie L98)





L92 Block,eng (cstg) 12584724
LS3 Block,eng (cstg) 12584724
12560626 1998-00 346 345 crossbolted block, Gen.III, "LS1"

Thank you any one else with the LS7's?

 

Is there any way to distinguish [Sp?] between the LS2/L76 and L98's without intake manifolds or exhaust headers?

Cheers

P.S. I know the L98 has VVT byt is that hidden behind the water pump and front cover?

 

Yes out of those three variants.

Only the L76 will have the Lifter Oil Manifold Assembly instead of the usual flat valley cover. The L76 will have an electrical connector socket in the center rear near the oil pressure sender.

Only the L76 will have the PCV tube coming out of the rear left rocker cover.

L76 and L98 will both have the same head casting number. LS2 will be 243.


L76 will have PCV hose coming out the rear left rocker cover, have funny looking valley plate with an electrical connector on the centre rear. It will have 5364 or 821 or 823 casting number on the heads.

L98 will have a normal looking valley plate, have 5364 or 821 or 823 casting number on the heads, have PCV hose coming out the front right of the valley plate.


LS2 will have 243 heads, normal valley plate, PCV hose coming out the front right of the valley plate.

L76 & L98 have intake ports as per the head on the left.
LS2 has cathedral intake ports as per the 243 head on the right.




All 3 engines will be aluminium block with 6.0 cast onto it on the right hand side front and back.
