Thanks! Also, why a 6.2? Aren't they having hella problems with the 6.2s? Honest question, I don't have an opinion one way or another.
I'm using an LS3 6.2L on my 73 Camaro so no DOD/AFM to fail. All aluminum so less weight up front and easy to get 500hp our of them while retaining great drivabilty and should get around 30mpg on the hwy in my 73.

My 2018 Yukon Denali had an AFM lifter failure at 88K miles so I deleted the system and at 115K miles with more power & better mileage.

My 2014 SS Sedan has almost 140K miles on its 6.2L LS3 and runs like new.

Nice! where do you get those LS3 aluminum blocks? And is it possible without ransoming planet Earth to pay for it?

I watched auctions for 14 months before buying a 2011 Camaro 2SS for it's LS3 6.2L & 6 speed manual. Paid $6,400 but was too nice so I'm driving it now. 4 months later bought another 2011 Camaro 2SS for $5,300 then sold over $3,000 in parts leaving me with a great running LS3, 6 speeds manual trans, power heated leather seats, console, brake & fuel systems plus complete wiring harness.

Here's the one I kept. Even came with the carbon fiber hood.
