Default LS2 heads and intake?

I have an all stock LS1.. i have a chance to get LS2 heads and intake for free, they have about 70,000 miles in them and are comming out of a truck. Would they be worth putting on my LS1? I plan on doing a cam in the future many other mods. thanks

I'd take just about anything for free. The heads are a no-brainer, that's a good find.

One thing to consider is the LS6 intake will probably suit you better than the LS2. Another thing to consider is which TB are you going to use if you do install the LS2 intake?

hadnt really thought about that. Do you guy's think ill notice a difference with the LS2 heads on it? i mean im sure the valves are bigger being the engine is a 6.0L instead of a 5.7.

also the heads, intake, TB will be comming off a 6.0L out of a truck, would they be the same as say the GTO 6.0L heads?

The heads should be 243 castings. If so grab em.

Toss the intake, chances are it will NOT be the LS2 GTO or Vette intake but a truck setup. Designed for troque and not HP. Stick with your LS1 intake if you can't afford an LS6.

I agree
If the truck isn't a Traiblazer SS then they are not 243's so the parts are not off an LS2. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't take them anyway esp. if their free.
