Default New 243 Castings $385.00 per pair !!

Since we have put our LS6 style heads on sale, we have had several customers inquire about special pricing on our 243 castings. So now through Labor Day, we will be offering new 243 castings for $385.00 per pair, bare. For anyone who buys these heads, we will CNC port them, perform our 5 angle valve job for 2.00"/1.55" or 2.02"/1.57" valves, hand blend the bowls, and mill to customer's specs for an additional $450.00.


We are also offering a couple of assembled versions:

1. New CNC ported 243 castings, 2.00"/1.55" (non-sodium) OEM valves, Patriot Gold dual spring kit, assembled, $995.00 per pair !!

2. New CNC ported 243 castings, 2.02"/1.57" Ferrea 6000 series valves, Patriot Gold dual springs, assembled, $1,195.00 per pair !!

OEM head bolt kits can be included with any of these options for $20.00.


These are some great deals and are available for a limited time only !!

Smoking deals. Even unported 243 heads are a nice 15-20 rwhp jump over LS1 heads. For $385, that's a pretty sick hp/$ ratio.

Probably a stupid question but I'm assuming the 385 price is for a set of bare castings?

Oh so it does Guess I should read a little more closely I think it was just wishful thinking! That is a killer deal though!! 995 with good springs is by far the cheapest I've seen NEW ported 243's for, makes me consider selling my SC that I have yet to install....

so whats the difference bettween the LS6 style head and these 243's. I was looking to get the 2.02"/1.57" 64cc LS6 style head but if the 243 is any better i will fork out $100 for them
