Default Can a single head be purchased from TSP?

A few months ago a friend of mine had a set of PRC 2.5 5.3 heads (862 castings) on his car. It dropped a valve and mangled one of the heads. He put a 5.3 back in the car, sold it, and practically gave me the heads since 1 was bad. Can I buy a single 862 and send it to TSP as a core and buy another one with their valve job, porting work etc. to go with my other head or do they only deal with both heads at a time?

Good question. On another note what will the rest of your setup be? I run those same heads (same castings too) and am just curious

I've been working 12 hour shifts. When I get off work theyre not open yet. When I wake up before work they're closed. This is our busy time at work unfortunately. They used to have a live chat for technical support etc. but it's no longer a thing apparently.

So far I have a lid, LS6 intake, TSP longtubes and Y pipe, 3400 yank, with 3.42 gears and a street tune. I'm probably gonna get my tuner to spec me a cam. He sometimes tests new cams before theyre officially released for a large company in the LSX market. I've had my eye on one that's being tested right now on a local guys Camaro. He's gotten really good results with it.

No Problem

We can do one head on an as need basis. We can get you fixed up no problem.

Just give us a call, and make sure you let us know the serial number on the good head, so we can mill and cut to match.
