NHRA lists the L82 and the heads. But their source document from GM has an error. I’ve dealt with NHRA for 20 years. This isn’t my first rodeo with them. Here’s our other...

L82 engine spec question

Did all L82’s have 2.02/1.60 valves? I know 73-79 did, but I’m seeing some conflicting info on the 1980 model.

The reason I asked about the kit cages is because I don't have a bender. I have everything else, along with the skillset to do it. I may pay someone to completely weld it out after I fit it and...

For those of you who have a roll cage
