Default head swap questions??????

i think i have 241 castings on the car now (correct me if im wrong) and in 2 weeks i have a window in my schedule to do my cam swap along with my ls6 springs that i bought, but i only have a 3 day window to do the entire swap and im not the fastest worker out there. part 2 is a while back i picked up a set of 806 cast heads and cleaned them up, now do you guys think that i could cut some time out and assemble those heads with the ls6 springs or should i stick with my heads i have on the car and just replace those with the new springs??? will the 806's even work on the car i mean i have the valvecovers and the coils for them

Unless the 806 heads have a good amount of port work done, we would suggest sticking with your 241 heads and just swap the springs.

Stick with your 241 heads. You should be able to change the cam and springs in three days. You might/will need longer if you change the heads.

The cam and springs were easier than the heads. I spent 1/2 day just cleaning up the block.
