My buddy broke some manifold bolts in his LQ4 iron heads on his plow truck (snowplow) and figured he'd freshen up the heads while he needs to work on them. I have a set of low km LS1 heads I pulled off my engine that we might throw on. Anyone try this? I'd put on some patriot golds while we have it out for durability. Any tuning would be required? Would he need to run premium going from a 72cc head to a 67cc? We'd keep the same cam to keep the low end torque higher for plowing.

i think the ls1 heads would do better than the iron heads for sure the iron headed motors are rated 20 hp less than the aluminum headed motors with the same cam and compression deff. have to run super prob. need a retune on the computer
