They look awesome Jason. I know this was a long process for you guys and alot of thought and hard work has gone into this or any PRC product for that matter. There are alot of mediocre heads in the LSX industry. This looks like a GREAT product as usual from PRC!!

I'm a SBC guy and am not familiar with the Cathedral Port head, what are the Pros and Cons of them vs a traditional oval or rectangular/style port head like the LS7 head?

While I'm noy going to say that it can't be done on a 243 casting, you will be needing one of the best head porters in the nation to get there.
Compare these heads to the TFS 235cc heads on a 4.030" bore fixture (the exhaust #'s are not compareable as the TFS heads are with a 1 7/8" pipe vs no pipe for TSP)

How's every thing going with this head are they shipping yet?

How are they vs the 6bolt trickflow 235 heads?

Is there any way to get the warhawk bolt pattern on this?

Is there any room for hand porting?
