Larger and swirl polished, with a good ol 5 angle valve job. Yall go low ball someone who doesn't know anything about hot rods or " ls engines" FYI I know exactly what I have, and what they are worth and when yall find them at that below junk price let me know ill pick up a few more sets!
I'm not interested in them, just letting you know why you might not be getting any bites. You can find low mileage sets that don't need any work on ls1tech for $400-$500 all day...

Ok so tell me if my math is off 300 + 50 shipping + 150 to clean and mill. =500= brand new surface and more compression=more power! Or take a chance on some low mile ones that may not even be low mile or any better. I don't think I'm unfair on my price. He wants the heads for 150. Um no! I admit some just want some stock heads ready to run to throw on. But most people looking for HP and are willing to get new head bolts,gaskets, and tear down the whole top end are wise enough to at the very least freshin up the heads to save doing it all over. Some like me would even say if im gonna go through the trouble of the swap I may as well do a full port and get 50ish whp out of the deal. But thats just my .02
