You mean stock unported?
Even so, yes but since you are in Sweden and paying so much for shipping might as well do ported ones.

Thanx i know, but i´m putting the stuff in a car thats going to sweden.

Will i need to modify anything to use 243 or is everything going to fit, like hoses etc?

oh, one more thing, are the ls2 and ls6 heads the same?

Everything will bolt up , they are both 243 castings so they are the same . You will gain compression from the 64cc 243's vs 67cc 241's. Intake and Exhaust port cc are larger and the combustion chamber is a more advanced design .

..And if you choose a set of 2002+ LS6 heads, you'll get the lighter and longer intake and exhaust valves, so keep that in mind (affects PR length).

Call "Summit" ask about the "Dart, Heads" best price, and I think the answer you were looking for in regards to the "value" of doing a stock to stock head swap is HELL NO!!! You wont be spending that much of a differance going with the darts and now they seem to have all the "bugs" worked out they are a real buy!!! Oh, ya,.....you MUST do something about a cam, there are more "threads" around here devoted to that mod than anything else! There is a real good reason for that fact!!!
