02 Camaro Z28 M6 4.10 gears, hooker headers into 3" x with dumps. centerforce clutch, SLP lid/intake. 100 shot occasionally.


My buddy recently did a head/cam(ls3) upgrade on his LS2 goat. He is giving me a pretty good deal on his old heads. So my question is it worth it to buy his heads? I plan on porting them during summer and then throwing them on in the winter. Also plan on going with the TSP cam package with the MS3 cam, and upgrading:
Timing chain
LS6 oil pump
Solid Motor mounts


sound good? any things missing?
i know ill need gaskets and crank bolt
thanks for any replies

Do it, nothing wrong with a nice set of ported 243s, you could even send them to TSP to port them for you. You will need new springs as well.

garygnu

are you porting them your self?I would recommend a ed curtis streetsweeper,studderin runs 10.60 with this cam .

Thats a great upgrade.
As garygnu asked, how were you planning to port them? Several good vendors on here offer great porting services if you have a good set of heads to send them to use. Overall, its very affordable too.

as for porting i was probably going to send them to a vendor on here. thanks for all the replies i will definitely be buying the heads. I cant wait for winter now to start tearing into her.

Dont forget about milling them to bring the compression up and maybe going to a larger intake valve as well.

But if your set on running an MS3 I doubt you'll be able to do either of those, lol.

yeah, im pretty set on getting the MS3 cam. Ive read a lot of good things about it on here, and its not my daily driver. The engine has 101,000 miles on it so i might do a refresh on the bottom end as well while i have it out. Any other suggestions while i have it out of the car? I think i am going to try and get a tubular K member for it as well if finances allow.

a 2.0" valve is plenty for a 346ci when done right

don't forget to replace pushrods and lifters also. just cheap insurance. I would buy those 243 heads and port them also. you will have a fun street car!!
