Default Replacement valve guides for 243 head - Where to buy?

Bought a pullout 06 GTO LS2, came with bent valves.. trying to find repalcement valve guides so I can salvage this head but have come up dry after hours of searching.

Does anyone know where I can get a pair (intake and exhaust) of valve guide for this head??

Thanks!

Hmmm.. will do. The guy I typcially use is a Ford guy so he recommended I just pick them up and toss them in with all the other parts I already have.

Guess I am shop-shopping on Monday.

Found a good local shop, got it all fixed.. they also found that 6 of 8 valves weren't sealing properly, so I pulled the otehr head and had them go through both sides, plus set up my new Comp 928 springs wince they had it apart.

Thanks for the advice, it's all good now!
