Default Can you do anything with stock heads

i am asking because I can pick up some center bolt heads to replace my perimeter bolt heads for about 50 bucks from a friend. I dont want to do a head change and put stock heads on so can the stock heads be worked and be worth it or should i just keep what i got.

Not worth it unless they're 243's IMHO. You can find 243's on here all day long for $500-$600 plus shipping.

Honestly, with shipping and everything (50 lbs., comes to about $40-$50 UPS ground), if you're on a tight budget, it's probably best just to buy some budget heards. PRC heads from Texas Speed, Patriots, etc. But, IMHO, nothing beats the cost/performance of used stock 243's. But, that's just me.

Honestly, do an LS6 intake while you're at it. If you're bone stock and add 243's, and an LS6 intake ($300+shipping on here), you're going to have a big smile on your face when you're done.

i thought all heads flowed relatively the same stock. And if ported they were all pretty similar also.

Might look into see how much it would cost to just mill those heads down and see how much power you get out of that.
