The LS1/LS6/LS3 heads have the hollow/sodium filled valves. The LS2 heads use an 8mm solid valve on both sides.

The LS6 & LS3 had/have the hollow stem sodiums, the LS1 did not. The LS6 & LS2 heads are extremely simular castings, the only difference being the sodium valving in the LS6 heads, with "yellow" valve springs, which simply denotes seat pressure.

Very true but I believe a L92 head would be too much for a stock cube 346 LS1 with their big 260cc intake runner. The AFR 205 head with its 205cc port can support power well past
7K rpms with the right combo. I would use the L92s on larger bore motors like a 383 or 402 or bigger.
