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.

No you didn't. The part that is a quote from a magazine is completely contained with quotes. You pretty much copy/pasted from the ls1.com thread.

i don't see how the quote is false nontheless....
You don't see how comparing the (wrong) price of one assembled head to a pair of aftermarket heads is false?

which was quoted from the magazine... it doesn't matter how many forums something was quoted from, if it's a quote, then it's a damn quote....

again.. ls7 heads assembled (valves and retainers as you have proven) are only $1400.... another set of heads that flow almost as well for much less $$$... you pick whichever ones you want.... they both CAN work on a ls1...

i'm not sure how much more you can nit pick at my statements.. but just to let you know, i'm not gonna respond again... enjoy your day

Are you really that dumb? Do you not understand what quotation marks mean? That first part is a quote from the magazine. Everything after that is some other guy's opinion.
again.. ls7 heads assembled (valves and retainers as you have proven) are only $1400....
That's ~$1400 per head you numbskull. And that's before S&H. So you're looking at more than $3k for the pair delivered. It's really not a tough concept.

And as I pointed out before LS7 heads will do you no good on an LS1, LS2, or LS6 motor because of the bore.

i'm not sure how much more you can nit pick at my statements.
That depends on how many more dumb statements you're going to make.

but just to let you know, i'm not gonna respond again... enjoy your day
Good. The rest of us won't be plagued by your misinformation then.

A pair of bare LS7 heads (PN 12578450) alone will set you back about $1,850 before tax and shipping...

another set of heads that flow almost as well for much less $$$...
There's more to cylinder heads than flow numbers...

they both CAN work on a ls1...
A sleeved LS1 with a 4.100+ bore, at any rate...

Until you start speaking from experience instead of regurgitating what you read (or thought you read) somewhere else...

Hinson's engine cradle uses the Camaro "clamshell" motor mounts which bolt directly to the LSx block. Granny's engine cradle requires a set of SBC mount adapters (which he now supplies, apparently), and a set of Energy Suspension low-profile SBC motor mounts. Of course, his cradle also mounts the engine too high to clear the hood because it was intended for an LT1.

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.
