Default Porting heads
Anyone have any experience with having LS6 243 heads ported? Cost/who did you use? Good decision/bad decision?
Thanks

Now, add the cost of freight to the machine shop and back plus any valves/springs/seals that need replacing along with the cost of the used LS6 heads and now you`re higher than buying a set already ported!

You just won`t listen to me!

There is a guy selling his LS6 243 heads and was thinking it might be worth it to go that route. I'm now going to put ice on my head from the banging on my head from you
