I have a 383 stroker, info in the sig. I have stock ls1 valves/head with a stage one port job. I have something wrong in cylinder 7 head, it is burning oil really good, i still have good compression and no blow by so i dont think it is rings. Im in school and may be able to do a full port n polish job for free so i was wondering if i can use some vortec heads? if they fit? or what other heads i can get for dirt cheap. I dont want to spend a whole lotta money. Thanks for the advice.

If your talking about SBC vortech heads, then no they won't fit. If you mean heads from a "vortech" 4.8, 5.3, or 6.0 then yes they will work.

Ok do you know like what kinda what years? like lq9 lq4 or just vortec 5.3 heads out of the 2000 or newer trucks? Thanks

You will need heads from a 97 or newer Gen III V8 engine. Anything from 2000 on up would be best like some 5.3 or 6.0 truck heads or 241 or 243 car heads.

alrite cool. So i should probly prefer to get some 6.0 heads? Some 5.3 heads with a huge port polish would be sufficient to run my setup i would think? I dont want to get into buying valves tho. I have comp pro rockers 1.75, comp pushrods 7.14s??? i think i cant remember and then ls7 lifters. With stock 5.3 valves would that work? thanks a bunch guys
