where to find new, bare 243's?
 
i wish i knew the part number for these heads. i am looking to buy a set of new, bare 243 heads but i am not sure where to start looking. if anyone knows the part number that would be great.

If you're gonna buy NEW heads, I would seriously consider the L92 heads and LS3 intake if you've got a cam to match...

There is a guy selling a set in the classified section.

Yep, Scoggin Dickey all the way. The part number for the bare 243 head is 12564825. They have great customer service and will get you setup with whatever you need.

wouldn't these fit a larger bore motor better?

4.00+ bore only
cannot use l92/ls3 on ls1 3.9 bore.
scoggin dickey carries all the parts u need, from spring seats to valve locks
even upgraded springs heads

fuck, i keep forgetting that :/ I'm building a 6.0 and for some reason I can't get it outa my thickass head that ls1's are 5.7, lmao.

I got some brand new bare 243's with the stock seats in them. I'd sell them for $400 shipped, which is what I gave for them.

I paid $425 shipped with new valves and seals from Patriot Performance.

What is the reason again? I've read it before but I keep forgetting.

Because the bigger valves are shrouded by the smaller bore........
