 You can't say enough about em, they make the older "performance" castings obsolete. It would take double the $$$ to make an older set of heads perform to the level of a stock set of Vortecs, nuff said. |

Re: Engine Help
Yes, but you will need new valve covers.

Re: Engine Help
you will also need a different intake for the vortec heads as the bolt patter is different 8 on the vortec vs 12 on the old style
