Heads i currently have flowed 267in/190 ex...

I did this for $470

But the shop went out of buisness...

And now one is warped cause i wasted another head gasket!

Back to the drawing board i guess..

No they were bought out...
Then they sold off all the machinary and toolings, and assimilated all the parts inventory and turned the place into an suto repair place instaed of a machine shop...The owner was getting old i guess

I guess I'll give him a call too. Want to get the stage 2 heads I just bought used cleaned up a bit. Hoping for around 270 or so (I think they flow 260 or so now intake side) and I forget the exhaust off the top of my head. Anyone have anything else I should look to get? I don't wanna spend more than another 400 or so on the heads, since I have to buy the cam, headers, tc, and lt1edit still. I'm getting the crane 10308 springs (good to .600 lift and supposedly dont' require machining to the heads) since I'm going with the xe230/236 with non-SA 7/16" 1.6 rr's.
