LS3 heads are $349.00 each, complete, with the better valves (hollow intake). The L92s are like $434 each, complete. LS3s are better AND cheaper.

EDIT- $314.95 each for 12629063 LS3s and $415.95 each for L92s 12629064.

Nice progress, when are you throwing up the official build thread, or will this one be getting a title change?

Check that number or find out exactly what bracket it is and post it up tomorrow and I'll try to run it on the dealer locator and see if there is a dealership out there with one in stock....then I can send you their contact info. Dealerlink will show if ANY gm dealership has it listed in inventory. It can be very helpful.

Both are discontinued and DealerLink shows noone with one sitting on the shelf. That's very wierd. Most discontinued parts have some availability scattered around for several years. I checked with Vintage Parts, Inc. (who services GM dealers with discontinued parts) and came up empty too.
