Casting Number 317:

Head: 2001+ LQ4/LQ9 6.0 L Truck
Material: Aluminum
Part Number:
12572035
Combustion Chamber Volume: 71.06cc
Intake Port Volume: 210cc
Exhaust Port Volume: 75cc
Intake Valve Diameter: 2.00 inches
Exhaust Valve Diameter: 1.55 inches


It's basically the large chamber version of a LS6 243 head. When used on an LS1/6 engine, the 6.0 heads will lower compression ratio, which can be desirable to people with boosted setups.

I've got a set off frest heads with big springs, 3 angle valve job. Spring, locks, guides and seals are all new and have never been installed since the machine work was done. They should be a good head, you can reduce the chambers with just a little milling and bring the compression up a tad. I think there 9.5 compression on a flat top piston.
