LE2 Heads Arrived
My Lloyd Elliot ported LT1 heads & Intake arrived yesterday!
What a difference from the other set of eBay heads I bought last year!
his work looks very good - I hope to get some pics up by the weekend.
I was totally flabergasted by the weight difference of the intake manifold. It has been lightened by more than three pounds!!! I mean totally incredible.
My numbers -- LE2 heads 205cc intake runners
.2 144/111
.3 199/141
.4 244/178
.5 271/188
.6 279/196
.650 283/201
I've seen better - but I have seen a whole lot worse!!
Great Job Lloyd - thanks

Congrats on the new heads! Few questions for you. How long was the turn around time on getting the parts back?
I see that you did not buy the cam that he makes to go along with the heads. What type of cam will you be using?

I bought a set of LT1 heads and ported intake from a f-body guy two years ago.
and never got around to putting them on my 94.....the heads and intake were ported by LE and the flow chart showed the munbers to be almost idential to LE2....
man i need to come up with some modding money before the holidays!

Almost identical to my LE2 heads. The flow is very good, but only a portion of the story as I learned from Lloyd, and not the most important part.
He he adds metal and welds on the sides to make the runners more in line witht he heads. Ports inside and opens to 58mm tb size.

OK - I took a day off today to play with my new toys!
I'll try to answer your questions as good as I can.
1) Lloyd charged me around $200 additional for the intake manifold work, but I don't know if he would do just the intake without the heads.
2) I'm considering the Professional Products 58mm TB but not decided yet. I have held this one in my hand and I liked the quality of the component but I need to do some more research on them.
3) Turn around time was about three weeks, and I did get the cam from him. The cam specs were done by Bret Bauer. He specs all of Lloyds cams to match the end users requirements and car, then CompCams custom grinds the cams and drop ships them to the user.
Here are some photos of the heads and intake. I have pumped up the sharpening and contrast on these images to assist in seeing the detail, so thier actual appearance is not exactly so sharp as some of the photos might have you suspect.
