Default Just picked up a set of stock 5.3 heads.

Hey guys I just got a set of 5.3's at a decent deal. They are complete down to every last pushrod. I was wondering who the best place to send these guys off to is? Also how much will I be looking at spending. Also I just ordered an MS4 cam the day before I got these, and now I will have to flycut, which isnt somthing I was wanting to do right now. So who do you guys think I should send them to to get worked, and what all should I get done?

For all the money you will have tied up in these heads to get them right ( new springs,ported, milled, ect) i would just buy a set from a sponser. You can get set for around a grand. Good luck

It is hard to beat the 5.3 stage 1.5 TEA heads..they are probably the best bang for the buck out on the market..it might be cheeper to just get a new set from TEA than for TEA to rework the heads you have..give Brian Tooley a call at TEA and ask him..

Thanks for the PM, Mike, and everyone else's responses. I'm going to shop around a little bit. What do you guys think these heads are worth?

I used to give $100-$150 for em as cores depending on what shape their in. May get more for em listing them in the sale section.
