on the heads, core charges from head-porting companies like patroit, etc. are around $800, but used sell for cheaper but not much

I was agreeing that they are ls6 heads...and would prolly have to mill them to raise the compression back up right?

he only wants $300.00 for them. Performance wise would it be worth it (with small roller too)

no i havent

do you have a link for them

the key to keeping driveability is not a certain brand or type of lobes on the cam but the duration and lift numbers, which you would want semi low duration numbers

id think a 212/218 or something similar would be good
