as some of you may know ima be getting a shortblock 6.0 here soon and was wondering where can i buy new heads for the block, thx fellas

 

Call Patriot, you can get a nice set of bare 243 heads for about 400 a pair then buy valves and springs from Richard of West Coast Cylinder Head, you will have about 700 into some brand new heads that flow very well and bump your CR up to about 10:1 on the LQ4.

 

i have a set im fixing to remove that only have about 3000 miles on them

 

what engine do 243 heads come on? the 6.0 are 317s arent they?

 

WTF is "ima"?

 

243 aka LS6 heads they came on the Z06 motors and a few others. Basically a 317 head with a smaller combustion chamber.

 

how much is a set of valves for a 243 head?

 

lol short for "im going to" and cody, you say about 700 bucks? would i need to buy springs? cuz i have 918s on my truck now, wont they fit on the new heads? also when am i gunna get some pics of the shortblock?

 

Have to call Richard at WCCH, he may hook you up

 

well i really only need one valve...the 243 head that i have had a bent valve that i need to replace. probably a dealership item for me.

how much power can you expect to gain by going with 243 heads on a ls1 or lq9?
