The L92 heads will bolt right onto the 02 Escalade engine. You can use the stock L92 intake but since you said your putting it in a 02 Yukon that has drive by cable so you will have to get an adapter plate to use your stock throttle body on the L92 intake or buy a new 90mm cable throttle body with 4 bolt pattern to bolt onto the l92 intake. You would just use your stock MAF sensor. The heads do not have VVT. That is part of the cam and such in the newer motor the heads came off of. Hope my ramble makes a bit of sense.....
