Default Iron LS1 head castings

I saw these in the Pace catalog for cheap; they have BIG chambers?

Are these for the blower cars that need low compression or are they for stoker engines that want lower CR - both?

They're probably the 6.0l heads. They started putting them on the 1999 engines. I've been told they are still installing them on some truck applications.

No; these are CAST IRON heads (bare)for LS1 applications; apparently they are a GM casting. They have 116cc chambers, however!!!

They cost like only $380 new!

Does anyone have a set; how do they flow?

uhh.. i think you're talking about the 8.1L heads. those are very very similar to the LS1 stuff but have a bbc bolt pattern. the combustion chamber size is not un-common for bbc stuff.

I have a set of 6.0 iron heads that I'd sell SUPER cheap if anyone is interested.
