Why do you want an L98 out of a 92? Go to google.com and search for rebuilt engines.

I got a rebuilt L98 from jasper last summer. I highly recomend them, and they will have any year you want. It was $2500 shipped, which would of been $350 cheaper if I didn't want to keep my old one (core charge). They'll do any mods you want for you at an extra charge. I got mine stock, which includes better piston rings and valve guides than an original because they said those parts were prone to fail. It came with a complete felpro gasket set, including all of the tpi ones. Best part is that all of jasper's engines have a 70,000 mile 3yr warrenty! Here is a pic of mine before I dropped her in. Some of the components off of my old L98 are already bolted on it in this pic; valve covers, oil cooler, some brackets and what not that were not included. The headers are flow-tech ceramics fyi.

Happy Shopping

Keep an eye on www.ebaymotors.com something good comes up every once in awhile and sometimes you can pick stuff up at a pretty good bargain....or if you're like me, you get carried away while you're bidding and end up paying more then you anticipated...D'OH.

Check with www.tacreationsusa.com I bought a complete L98 motor from them for under a grand with shipping included (one of the best companies to deal with). I pick it up tomorrow from the machine shop and I am dropping it in this weekend. So far I am right at $2600 with block, rebuild and some of the extra bolt ons that are in the sig. BTW I couldn't be happier.

Rebuilt block myself with summit rebuild(had L98 heads ported ). Forged pistons, crank, Chrome rings, and much more as you can see.I did all for about 1500 counting runners, chip, injectors, torque converter, and more little stuff.
