Default keith craft stg3 6.0 heads

I can get a real good deal on a set of these heads. They are 6.0 liter heads stage 3 cnc porting from Keith Craft motorsports 2.08 intake 1.60 exhaust all ferrea valves 918 springs and titanium retainers. Zero miles on these since they have been worked by keith craft still in box they were shipped in. Milled just to true surface. Did not have them flowed keith said they should flow in the 320's

Know anyone using these heads from keith craft? Good or bad experiences? How is my motor going to react with them? The motor is stock besides a few boltons. I'd go with a custom grind cam if i decide to get these heads.

I have never heard of Keith Craft even fooling with GM stuff.. He's a Ford guy, but is known for building some nice stuff. If they are cheap then definately give them a try.

He's been playing with the gen III stuff for some time now. I would buy keith craft motorsports heads any day of the week if the price was right.

My concern is are these heads too big for my motor and are going to kill lower rpm power and how bad? My torque converter and gears will help a little.

Mill them .030 and run a .040" gasket and you'll be fine. You should be right at 10.5:1 with them as is and can run a decent sized cam. You just have to worry about p-v clearance as you're milling the head pretty heavily and using a thin head gasket with a 2.08 valve. I would say a 228/232 would work nicely.

Cool... I know he is a very reputable builder in the Ford community so I'm sure he can/will do some really nice stuff in LSX world.
