What heads an cam did you go with? an what kinda price.Looking into it myself.

PaJeff: I like the UMI stuff I have. The only issue was the corrosion on the metal rod ends. I had to beat the hell out of the lower rear bolt get it out. It was fused to the rod end. I also melted out the teflon lining with my torch...

Joels: I went with Texas Speed LS6 stage 2.5 heads, and the MS3 cam. I wanted the MS4, but the oversized valves in the 2.5 heads would have caused ptv clearance issues. Had to switch from 111 duration to 112 also.

I have fought with one too many frozen bolts in suspension components over the years. Everything I assemble gets a light coat of antiseize to prevent this.

Yeah, I'll be using about a gallon of that stuff this time around! It's just funny that it was only the lower rear that froze. Must have something to do with it being upright.

Well the heads were finished yesterday, boxed up and shipped out. Unfortunately they'll be here the day I leave for vacation

I'll snap some hi-res pics when I get my hands on them.

I was just looking for an update....thx

**MrKid** · 04-15-2010, 04:45 PM

Heads and cam have arrived! I won't bother posting pics of the cam, because they all look alike. Here are the heads. They are P&P LS6's with oversized valves(you can see clearencing one pic). Also have titanium keepers and seats, and dual springs.

Cam specs, and hardened pushrods.

**MrKid** · 04-29-2010, 06:44 PM

Engine is done! I just need to finish up the k member assembly, and wait for the tranny to come back.

**pajeff02** · 04-29-2010, 06:52 PM

Looks great! Hope the install goes smooth for you.

**MrKid** · 04-30-2010, 03:53 AM

Thanks. Shouldn't be too bad now that I know the order everything needs to go in.
