Default Ebay LS3 heads??

Stumbled across these on Ebay, good price IMO but don't know anything about the company?? $899 with dual springs installed? They say they're alot better than factory heads.

Tha $899 is for one single head.

For a set of two, you're looking at $1798.

For that price, I'd pass in favor of a name brand with a positive reputation. Even if I had to pay a few hundred dollars more.

That said, if you have a set that you can send for porting, Texas Speed will do yours for about $1300.....springs extra.....

Jus' sayin'.......

It says at the bottom of the description that they are sold in sets of 2, so that price would seem to be for a set of heads.

Sounds awfully cheap, but if somebody wants to give them a try, please let us know how they work!

Proheader is an offshore company who copies US Made parts (or buys from someone who copies). Their SBC head castings actually are pretty nice and a few reputable porters use them, but they are never as good as the original, still need a good valve job done and some clean up, better parts installed etc. Havent seen this casting yet so I cant comment on them, but I would say stock LS3 heads would be the way to go.

Castings are thin, know of people blowing through to the spring pockets when cleaning up the intake port

Hey.....my bad. 2 heads for $900.

Not bad at all considering that their heads "are comparable to Dart world AFR speedmaster pro comp Edelbrock GM".
