I wonder if these are Procomp castings. Procomps are available for small and large bores. The fact that they don't answer who cast them gives me the suspicion. Also its hard to believe that they found someone to cast them in small quantity for a price that low. If so, I don't have a problem with rpm machining the blanks. It seems like they would answer the questions though. They are definitely a bargain.

I believe they are, but they look to be pretty decent, I've seen them first hand.

Should be interesting, we just released our small bore LS7 head & it's priced exactly the same as our cathedral & LS3 new castings.

I hope the picture of them is a generic photo because it's a picture of a GM casting.

Jason, will you offer a 4.0 bore option? I don't really care about 380cfm as much as I care about having an intake that can support the flow. I see the LS7 as the best option. If you make it I will buy it and you'll sell a bunch, just think of all the 402/408 engines you and everybody else has sold in the past few years. I'd like to run a bigger bore but I already have the machine block and pistons.

TSP had some small bore head and sold the small batch they had. (aonther thread) They expect more in a few weeks. TSPs' sales staff is still unaware they offer these heads.

Give it a rest Jim. Geez. Maybe they have a new employee. Or maybe whoever called didn't understand them. I for one am glad TSP is offering this product at a great price. I am also glad they are taking the time to refine the product as well. I'd rather get mine later than now with issues.

I'm really interested in what an LS7 head and intake can do with my setup. I cant wait to see some results on a 402 setup. I think its smart for a 4.00 bore LS7 head. Think about how many people own 402/408 motors.

I may have confused you with someone else. There was a guy in the PRC LS7 thread that was bitchin quite a bit for awhile. Sorry bout that. I'll STFU now.
