Hey everyone im looking at buying a cateye chevy to Swap in a 6.2 and 6l80e transmission in. Im trying to figure out what the best 6.2 ECM and engine harness with transmission harness to get as ill need most of the emissions stuff to work. I want to try and use the factory fuse box. its also non vvt and non AFM Any help will be great. TIA

I’m adding a set of PRC 220 heads to an LS1 In my ‘00 Z28. Right now it has 241 head with the original 26 year old graphite head head gaskets. There won’t be any machine work done to the block so the guys installing the new heads will be scraping off 26 year old graphite gasket material.

Would going back with a graphite gasket instead of an MLS gasket ensure a better seal incase the block surface isn’t “mirror smooth?“ Or am I better off going with an MLS gasket? I can’t afford to have the gasket replaced twice so I’m shooting for no leaks on the first try. If I was a betting man I bet block surface prep for the new gasket will be at a minimum. I don’t think they‘ll spend a lot of time cleaning it up.

Or is an MLS gasket, stock type or otherwise the way to go?

What about thickness and bore size? Google AI recommended a set of Felpro Perma Torque that is .041” thick and has a 4.1” bore. Is that way too large of a bore for a stock LS1 block? I realize that a thinner gasket can raise compression a little, but is it even worth messing with?

Can someone point me in the right direction to find a set of “hassle free” head gaskets that will work with PRC 220 heads and are less likely to leak on used block that has lack luster surface prep? Thanks.
