Where to buy Vortec heads
Looking at putting vortec heads on my 350. Where is the best deal on a set of new vortec heads? Considering pulling some from the junkyard but seems like it may be a hassle because from the sound of it I may pull six before I find two good ones. Thanks.

Scoggin Dickey supposedly has good prices. I’m not sure they are GM heads but are better than stock stuff. Can get em in 225cc I think too.

The big "Vortec" heads are bowtie, and the only downside is there are iron. |

Blue Print makes some aluminum Vortec style heads for a reasonable price. Have no idea how good they are but they have good reviews.

Re: Where to buy Vortec heads
I got mine from summit then after I found i could have got them from skogen with machine work and upgraded springs for higher lift cam
I have gotten a like new set from ebay and picked up a free express van that the po was determined the heads where blown really bad intake gasket good motor and tranny for free The l31 had a very bad intake gasket that failed often and is most likely the cause for vortec heads to crack from overheating to many times with no antifreeze |

You can also make a stock vortec head take .525 lift with a cheap ls6 valve spring a special comp retainer, and a different valve seal. No machining required.
