Patriot 243 heads standing by
I have had these Pat heads since Feb standing by to be installed. They are CNC ported and mill 62cc chambers. The holdup is waiting for Cadillac Racing Lifters to arrive from back order.
I sure hope the wait is worth it.
Here are some pictures of the heads.

Sleeper, what lift and LSA are you running on the 224? I'll be interested to see your dyno graph after you get her back together and tuned. I'm running the TSP 224R (.581 lift/112LSA) with 5.3 heads. It will be nice to see what #'s you get with the Patriot (LS6's?) heads. Keep us posted!

Thanks Bob...let's just call it a solid mid 11 car for now; at least 'til the new rubber gets here.
Fotoboy,
Nice car. Do you ever drag race it? Any times?
Patriot's flagship LS6 "style" heads start out as raw GM 035 (6L truck) castings. These heads have the same runner design as the LS6 heads, thus the LS6 "style" designation. Patriot welds up & machines the chambers to your desired cc and installs bigger aftermarket valves.
Their 243 heads start out as GM 243 (LS2 and LS6) castings. They don't have any chamber work and use stock GM non-sodium filled valves. These are less expensive, but they still perform great.

Be sure to post your results when you get it on a dyno.
