Default Ls7 Head core exchange.

I was wondering if you all good maybe point me in the right direction. I am looking to a core exchange program with some rebuilt and P&P ls7 heads. What vendors offer this and who would you recommend?

Thanks

I'm not too sure about all the rules around here (don't think they're a vendor here) but I had my heads done at Late Model Engines in Houston about 14K miles ago and they are still running strong. They have an amazing machine shop with all the good stuff there to do anything you want. They did mine with CHE guides, Ferrea hollow exhaust valves, polished stock Titanium intake valves, BTR .660 springs, put the heads on the CNC porting machine.

Vengeance racing uses WCCH and typically has a few finished sets in stock for their exchange program.

We do offer the LS7 heads on exchange with WCCH units loaded with our dual valve spring kit. I'm out of stock at the moment unfortunately but should have another set ready within a week or two! Let us know if we can assist with this.

We offer a number of different LS7 cylinder head options depending on what the customer wants. All of our heads are done by the same tech that does our Pro level race heads so attention to detail is one of his strong suites and treats each set just like it was going on an endurance race engine.

Hit me up if you have any questions. I try to at least keep one set prepped and ready for final machine work depending on the build.

Well I was able to get it all back together Monday night. It took me about 5hrs from where you saw it to running. I will say I was wiped the next day though!!

It runs good. I've been keeping it under 3.5k and no wot until I get it tuned. I imagine it would probably run a little lean with the added airflow and compression with the current tune on it.
