Default 6.0 heads

Hey guys what are people doing to 6.0 heads before they put them on? Are you guys changing anything on them before installing? I plan to run these on my iron block aswell. For now though on my 5.7 thanks guys

Well what are your goals? Do you just want to do a 'budget thin' or are you wanting a more lasting idea?

If you are just using a stock block, and want heads for a lil lower compression, then yeah, just throw some springs on them.

If you are building a motor there is no reason to get cheap now, ports them springs,a nd possibly larger exhaust valves.

all in what you want to do
