Default LS1 heads and core exchange ????

Hopefully somebody can give me a real answer...

From time to time, I keep kicking around the idea of getting a set of ported & polished heads for my 2001 Camaro SS M6.

Every place I look, EVERYONE wants a core exchange or you have to pay anywhere from $300 to $500 more for the set of heads.


WHY ?

Are LS1 heads that hard to come by?

The reason I bring this up is because I want to keep my original heads.

Thanks in advance for any info,

Bill

The reason is that we have to pay 300-500 for the heads to give you! <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">

Don't worry about it. As long as you return your old ones the money will be refunded to you.

Most shops (like me) will wave the core charge if they do the install.

mikey,

How much would you charge to install stage 2 heads and a street/strip cam?

Also, If I have you install Long tubes (of my choice), how much more would that be?

Would I get a warranty from you for parts and labor?

Do you accept credit cards?

You can email me the prices if you don't want to post them on here.

How far are you from Erie, PA? Might do this next summer when I go home to visit......
