5.3 heads,Few odd question's that Stump me Well i see alot of ppl are considering going with this head now that Tsp have offered a good deal on them.Here is my questions
Ok i have just installed some PRc Dual springs on my stock 806 heads with my cam package
Can i reuse my springs,pushrods(7.4) with the new heads since they are basically all brand new .I plan on running a stock size gaskit with the 5.3 heads
and i will have to change to Centerbolt valve covers also want i?? if so were is the best place to get a set at
In my mind i think these heads should work well with my combo and get me in the power range were i would like to be 400-410rwhp my mods are
Full exhaust ,headers, xpipe
Bbk ssi intake
Pp tb
4.10 Gear
Torquer v2 cam on a 112 lsa
So guys shed some light for me please becuase this deal ends in april lol,Any input ideas is welcome and is my goal achevable i put down 370-350tq with a shady tune

The heads will come with good springs. As far as the VCs are concerned, you can check the used parts section for those or pick up some nice aftermarket ones.
You should measure for PR length with the new heads. Order a PR length checking tool for ~$20, do it right.
With heads and cam you should be over 400 rwhp no problem. Which cam you are running?

Check with TSP first and make sure the 5.3 heads will clear with the Toquer 2. Yes you have to run the centerbolt valve covers and like Shevrolay said hit up the For Sale section

you can run the tv2 with the stage 2.5, 5.3 heads. 7.4 pushrods will be fine. also the heads come with the prc dual springs good to .650 lift. my buddy has this combo and put down 433 on a mustang dyno.
