Here are the gorgeous Vortec iron heads GM part number 12558062 I scored from the junk yard for a total of $88.00 yes that was for the pair of them. I think it was 50% OFF all engine parts that weekend at the local Pick N Pull. But I did have to go to four yards to finally find a set on the last vehicle I looked at, a 1999 Suburban, and I almost died of heat stroke that day. Things I do for you guys! JK

~ Hey me, it's me from the future, it's two years later (9/22/2018) and I gotta tell you these heads did not turn out, they were both cracked, warning to all you ambitious junk yard pullers out there, I do not recommend hunting for used Vortec cylinder heads, I pulled 5 pairs, and all were cracked! ~
