Default Cylinder head question - heat risers???

Hi guys couple questions, is thier any Aluminum performance cylinders that have a 64cc combustion chamber or less, angle plugs and around 180cc intake ports that do not have heat risers and will fit an 1988 L-98?

-I know GM fast burns fit this profile as do the Lingenfelter L-98 ported heads
haven't seen any AFR, Edelbrock or Trick flow heads that fit this profile.

-do the patriot 180 heads have heat risers, they didn't say on thier sight?

-is it a problem if I put heads that have heat risers on my motor when my 113's didn't originally come with them???

Thanks for all the help

You can use the heads with or without. It will not be a problem.

Please consider all those brands, and don't forget Brodix and Edelbrock.

I would recommend cutting the heads to the stock 58CC

You can use either kind, so dont make this a criteria.

I thought you were going to re-work your stock heads yourself.
I did mine, but I concentrated more on efficiency than port volume. It was a great beer drinking project.

It would appear that these fulfill your criteria:

Default Thanks all

I appreciate all the help guys, I might still port my stock heads, I was just mulling through all the options and wasn't sure about the heat riser issue but thanks to you guys, I now know its a non-issue.
