L98 heads off of a '90 Vette that I bought from a forum member. The exhaust guides were a bit worn but I didn't expect them not to be, really. Exhaust guides tend to wear faster; I'm having bronze sleeves put in the exhaust, and I'm going to ceramic coat the heads just like I did with the pistons.

What cam are you using? Looks great BTW! Congrats! :cheers:
And yes, that's a custom lid I made out of phenolic sheet to get rid of all the junk on the underside of the stock lid (so it's smooth) and reduce heat that gets transferred to the throttle bodies.
