so...i'm 100% done with vortec heads. been thru two sets in a week. both cracked. it's cost me almost $800. we won't go into the dimensions of p'd off i'm in. second set was supposedly just rebuilt. surface was clean, had receipt. straight edge show true. but as a precaution, i always have heads checked out. sure enough, cracked. after adding this all up, with a new set of improved vortecs, plus the correct manifold, it'll cost me close to another $800. uh. NO!!!!
so, there is a possibility of light at the end of tunnel. shop that i use for all my work, very reputable, is offering to help. he has a set of fresh 810 heads. now, my understanding is these are 65cc, 1.94 tbi swirl heads off 350 truck motors. in talking with him tho, he thinks for what i am after, they are a great head, with good economy, low to mid performance. which is where i'm headed. motor is going into a 2.73 rear gear camaro. being built for cruising, highway driving, with an OCCASSIONAL trip thru the traps.
here's the deal. he is offering both heads, with 3 angle, just enough mill to clean up, and a matching, correct rpm performer intake, all for $125. i've heard bad about these heads, but have read SOME good. for what i am after, is this a good deal, or should i pass?
