Have 241 laying around and dont wanna pick up any other heads right now... Just wanna use what i have laying around...i know they are better haeds but this is just to get the car back on the street... My race car is getting a 1200+ hp motor soo that where all the money is goin to
If your confident in whoevers porting your heads they will be great. Im using 862 casting heads ported that flow 300cfm, a 238/240 .605/.610 112 (in a 6.0l bored .030 over) and a fast 102. I believe theres a sticky here that claims once ported 241s and 243s have no difference.

The biggest thing for me in not having to do valve reliefs... Its a pain i dont feel like having to do... Soo anyone have an idea if the 241s with a 0.05 mill and a ms3 or v3 will still have ptv clearance??... No doubt it will make the power but i just worry about the clearance

Putting some #s together for a budget build, using the parts I have and buying as little as possible.
Goal is a strong running, smooth idle engine for my 78 corvette, going to use the carb set up, and sticking with my 700r tranny I just got. Its a daily driver.
This is where I am at, haven't pulled the trigger yet, and would like some input from you guys as this is my first ls engine build.
Summit has a .30 over 6.0 block for 675 bucks and I live next door, no shipping.
Set of speed pro pistons .30 over http://www.summitracing.com/parts/su...make/chevrolet

Parts I have from a 2002 Ls1
Crank
Rods
Heads
Cam
Will the flat top pistons put me around 10.5 compression?
With new bearings this will put me around $1000 to $1100 for a 6.0 long block.
