Default Stock? heads for 370ci turbo motor

Is there a stock head that will work well on a 370ci turbo motor? I'm looking to put down 650-700 or more RWHP. I seen a 4" stroke LS1 with a small turbo put down 499 with a very mild cam and no port work on some 243 heads. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Stock 317 6.0L heads, used many times with great results.

the 317's flow pretty much the same as 243's

and the combustion chamber on the 317 head is better suited for the bore in the lq4/lq9 motors

how high you want to rev ?

what sort of valve train ?

most use ls7 lifters, they are rated to 7000rpm and are the stock replacement lifters now. but for heavier valve train and big cams i would use morels or caddy lifters

L92's outflow both 243 and 317 and would be worth looking at. Downside is you will need another intake and rocker set-up.

Do it right the first time and get the Morels. Worth every penny.
