Default LS6 Heads..
Can I buy a set of LS6 heads bare, and swap over my valves etc?...Or would I be better off to buy the complete ones with springs, and just swap springs?..Are LS6s even worth it without port work?..

What type of heads are you currently running? I can give you the run down on options if you like. Just give me a call at: 512-257-0222. You don't have to buy from me the advise is free.

There are always used 243's for sale for around $500. Sometimes with good springs too. Worthwhile upgrade IMO.

LS6 is the way to go IMO.

Even better if they are ported.
