If you're gonna buy NEW heads, I would seriously consider the L92 heads and LS3 intake if you've got a cam to match...

Yep, Scoggin Dickey all the way. The part number for the bare 243 head is 12564825. They have great customer service and will get you setup with whatever you need.

I got some brand new bare 243's with the stock seats in them. I'd sell them for $400 shipped, which is what I gave for them.

Because the bigger valves are shrouded by the smaller bore........
