Got some Vortec heads!
I traded an old tunnel ram from a Camaro I purchased for a set of 99 Vortec heads that were new from the machine shop with fresh guides , cut for high lift and fresh springs. He threw in a new performer rpm and center bolt valve covers. My truck is currently extremely under powered for my liking . It has a stock l48 350 with headers and a quadrajet. My guess is 250hp. The new build will hopefully get me 350hp/400lbft with the new heads,intake and comp 262 extreme 4x4 cam. I'll update soon when i start tearing into it!

Re: Got some Vortec heads!
I didn't mean LS's, I bought my 98 in 2006 because it WASN'T an LS truck. Was just givin ya a hard time. I have vortecs on my 78 as well.
