Just had these bad boys dropped off this morning, getting all mushy just thinking about bolting them up







Haven't really had a good opportunity to explore the depths of these beauties, but I think you get a good idea

Gorgeous stuff. How much better are they supposed to be over the stockers? I'm assuming all new castings with CNC port work. Looks to be a little hand work done too. Are the valves angled any...or am I just a little off kilter? In for the results

IIRC from the data sheet, they get a 3-angle job, but don't hold me to it!

Those heads look like crap! I wouldn't even run them if I were you. I tell you what I will do, just because Im a great guy. I have a stock set of LS3 heads with less than 200 miles on them, and just to help you out of this bind you are in, I will swap ya even.
Just kidding!! TFS has always done great work with LS stuff and I am sure the LS3s will be right at the top of the heap. Im in for some results, Too.

The 3rd pic on the valve cover rail? Just looks like its from the casting.

That's a casting flaw and it's normal to see it in sand castings; it's only cosmetic.
