I think 806 heads were stock on my 97 ls1 and they are almost 68 cc's with the stock valve sizes you listed.

I couldn't ever find very much information on them but take into consideration the head flow and casting improvements progression from 806 to 856 to 241 to 243.

What's the displacement of an LQ4?

its a 366, the 806s i bought are cnc ported should flow better than the 317s i took off none the less and a 68cc chamber is still better than the 317s 72cc i figure.

Some of those engines have dish tops (I think I remember reading) in which case it would give you a factor of safety with the P to V clearance, but you still should check weather dish or flat top. Well certainly for flat top.

6.0 L with ported heads and that cam should be well above 450 rwhp horse if it's in a manual .
