Found my heads. Now I need the valve covers/coil mount as well.

Also looking for an LS6 cam, number 12565308, or some other streetable LS cam. Let me know what you have!

Thanks!

317 heads and 243 heads are pretty much the same. Little bit lower compression with the 317s, from what I understand--Hence why more people use those for Forced Induction builds, and the 243s for N/A use. However, if you're not shooting for big numbers, it's worth thinking about for $200.

I saw those, but I'm looking to keep compression the same or bump it up a bit, not lower it. Shooting for a max efficiency (not really max power, it's a street car after all) build.

Thanks, though.

MadSS - If I can find some heads, I'll be in the market for valve covers. Otherwise I'll be porting the spare set of 853's I have here.

MonMouth - Been trolling the classifieds there. People think their used parts are made of gold or something. :facepalm:

Ok, found a set of 243 heads. Now I'm still looking for a 5308 LS6 cam, or some other reasonable streetable LS cam. Let me know what you have!

If your looking for a LS6 cam just make a wtb post on tech, it's a pretty undersirable cam a lot of guys have them hanging around in there garage, you should get a lot of bites.

Yeah, after looking at the specs on the ls6, it's so close to the '98 cam that I decided to go with something else.
