Default Ebay vortec heads
Has anyone bought these before? 175 each sounds like a deal.

so its $350 plus $20 shipping...$370 plus the ones you buy say, for what $100 (if you can get vortec heads for that at a junk yard which i doubt). so now you are into it for $470 bucks....those $175 heads have pressed instuds so if you wanted to use roller rockers you are out of luck. i think you either should find a used set to keep for your self or buy new ones all set up.
