lq4/lq9 heads both come from a truck (6.0 iron block engines)

i believe the gto had 243 heads

lq4/lq9 heads are pretty much the same, they gave the exact same casting number on the heads, 317. they have a combustion chamber of about 72cc's

They cost between $25-100, require no tuning to idle, are easy on valve springs and are proven to work as this thread illustrates.
