Vortecs are a lot of power for the buck if you're looking for a bit over 300 hp. They're better than the L98 heads. (but iron)

Any idea where I can find theses heads? For some reason I cant find them. Also Summit racing has one of those top end engine kits for a SBC. What is your take on that.

I dont want to race it, just want a cleaner/powerful engine.

If you can't find vortec heads, you're not looking very hard. Kinda like saying you can't find any porno on the internet.
