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

most alumimun heads do not have heatrisers... AFR, Edelbrock, GM, Patriot, etc = NO heat risers.... only aluminum heads i've seen with heatriser (u need for old school carb) are early Canfield....

oh, and it won't hurt to have the heat riser in the head.... your manifold will just block this port off....
