5.3L heads and cam
i was going to buy a cam package from texas speed next week but they also have a heads and cam package that caught my eye. its stage 2.5 5.3L heads and any cam i choose. double spring kit and pushrods. I dont know a whole lot about changing out heads. besides gaskets and new bolts will i need anything else to put these heads on? i was going to get the 228R cam before i saw the heads package and is that still a good cam to go with or should i go bigger with the new heads? Thanks

Hey Matt,
I think that could be a nice set up, what are your mods now?,are you m6 or auto?
Your car's a 98 so I suggest timing chain and oil pump

Does Texas Speed sell those heads with perimiter style bolts for the 98? If not you'll need new valve covers and coil pack rails.

also a fine wire wheel for a drill or a 90° to clean the block deck.....dont use ANYTHING more aggressive than that.
its actually a very easy job to do. took about 8-9 hour on mine, but probably 5 of those hours was porting the heads
