OK...from September Hot Rod Mag..
"On June 1, GMPP announced the availability of the L92 cylinder head, PN 12582713, for $375 completely assembled. This is an aluminum head that's used on the 6.0L Tahoe L76 Engines (and rumored to be the engine in the new Camaro), and it flows a reported 330cfm. Yeah, we know. You can now get LS7 head performance for $750 a pair, assembled. The best new is you can get a matching intake manifold (PN 12580123) that comes assembled with 36 lb/hr injectors, fuel rails, and a 90mm TB for $475." - Rob Kinnan
Will not work on a LS1 but will work on the bigger bore LS2/402's etc. So you get 330cfm flow for $350'ish compared to aftermarket ( AFR etc) $2000. But check out the TB/Fuel Rails/Injectors/Intake for $475.

again.. ls7 heads assembled (valves and retainers as you have proven) are only $1400....
And as I pointed out before LS7 heads will do you no good on an LS1, LS2, or LS6 motor because of the bore.

another set of heads that flow almost as well for much less $$$...
they both CAN work on a ls1...

Hinson's cradle requires that you send your own cradle as a core (or pay for one of his) because all he's doing is hacking out the center section and welding in a few cross-pieces, Pettit-style. Grant's cradle is a complete replacement, including new mounting points for the lower control arms, but the rear mounts are only attached with light boxed tubing which allows them to flex under load.
