I wish I had some extra money available. I've never been a fan of Patriot due to old issues (that do not need brought up in this thread) but 243s for less than $400......damn.

If you would like, we can add OEM valvetrain for a very small cost.

The LS6 style head are the heads we have done for a long time. They have the same runers as the 243's and flow is the same. The main difference is that the LS6 style heads begin life as 035 castings that we use a welding process to make the combustion chambers smaller.

So I can use my stock values and my PRC Dual Springs if I get a set of bare castings?

That would be great.

What hardware would that consist of, also would gaskets be included?

I don't know if you have this figure but what power difference are we looking at ported and non ported?

Thanks
