If your looking for a LT1 head I can get you a cnc copy of my heads. Price is $1495 for porting, valves, springs, ret, and locks.

Call Livernois/Detroit speed works. Talk to Rick Swain he will hook you up. Or call Wayne at Headwinds. Steven

The cam is going to depend on what your goals are with the car, if you so need help I can give you some ideas.

I'll second Wayne @ Headwinds. He really seems to know his stuff, and I've heard many good stories of his work. My heads are there as we speak. squinn certainly has an excellent set of heads as well.

On a side note Wayne's son works at livernois porting heads. So either place you will be in good hands. When i had my heads done Wayne could not turn them around quickly for me so i went to livernois. Steven
