dan,
Why go with an LSx block and not use 6 bolt heads??
I know ETP only charges $600 more to add then to there heads
I know if u really start to push it with that S91 you are going to lift the heads and push water.

Thanks everyone!
Nasty,
I really wanted to do that, trust me, I knew this question was coming
.
I found it (for me) impossible to get a hold of ETP, no return calls or emails. I talked to All-Pro and they were awesome folks there, but I couldn't do the $5700 with the rockers and all the goodies I would need. With the funds I had set aside, I still needed a roll cage and chassis work. I paid $1900 for these heads new in the box, plus I already had them for like a year. I just swapped the exhaust valves for the Ferrea Super alloy valves and went with Ferrea's new double spring to help with open/close pressures.
The plan is in the next year or so, to go solid roller anyway, then I'll look at the 6 bolt heads again and hope there are some more options out there. I will probably have to limit it to around 1000 whp until then and hope it all holds up, should be good for the 8's hopefully.

I get ya... the whole reason i didnt go with a new block..... Ill be saving once this motor is done and start on a 6 bolt setup.......
I bet he won't push water! I don't think we were lifting the heads, I think the cylinders were moving around. I bet the new LSx you can get away with 4 bolts. Andy.
