Default Where to get new 317's?

I have a used set of 317's I was planning to spruce up but after pulling them apart, I think I might be better off just picking a new set. Either the LQ4 or LQ9 versions, 12562317 or 12572035's. I've done some searching on the usual GM parts sites but no luck. Any ideas on where to pick up a new set?

Rick

I would just opt for Richard at west coast cylinder head to do them. He would probably just send you an already done other set then your actual heads, but you never know.

They are a sponsor.

Ive got a set off of a 2007 6.0, taken off the motor with only 100 miles on them, did a L92 head swap immediately. I can see if the guy who owns them wants to let them go. They are brand new for all means and purposes.

I briefly talked to someone at WCCH Saturday am about having them freshen them up. They have a couple completed Stage ll sets in stock but no bare new heads. He said they don't get a lot of requests for new sets but could look into it for me. I'm going to call them back this am and get some more info.

Sounds like they may work. Please post/email me when he get's back to you.

Thanks, Rick

My 6.0's turned out sick as hell after having them redone, I already had a set of valves out of my 6.0's I had redone with large stainless valves, ported, polished chambers, etc so I replaced the two bad valves. Should work damn good on that boosted 4.8! >=)
