[SOLD] Vortec 062 heads 1.60" exhaust valves
Pair of 12558062 casting Vortec heads, 1.94" intake and 1.60" exhaust valves, valve seals. I believe I also have a set of head gaskets, but forgot to look. If I have the gaskets, I'll include them.
History: Local shop replaced the 30K miles engine in a customer's truck due to noise. Pulled the heads later, found something had gotten into one of the cylinders somehow. They had them sitting to the side when a racer buddy, getting his engine replaced by the same shop, picked them up (he was going to get the heads off of his older, higher-mileage engine, they told him to just take these). I bartered with him for them, intending to install on my ZZ4 clone 350 - until my plans were changed with the acquisition of an LS1/4L60E.
I had taken the heads to another racer who runs an engine shop for cleaning and examination. He declared them clean except for the dings seen in the photo. He cut the exhaust seats for 1.60" valves, I took them back home intending to clean up the exhaust ports when the LS1 thing happened.
The intent was for the shop to shave the surfaces to clean up the dings, cut the top of the guides for the new seals, and install screw-in studs. Obviously, none of that happened.
The valves are stainless from Competition Products. Brand unknown, but often are Manley or similar. You'll need to add springs, retainers, and keepers.
Asking $400 plus shipping (they are heavy, expect around $35 per head or more for shipping). Local pick-up no problem.
Cell phone photos, if you want/need better, I can probably get them for you in a day or two.
PM or email. PayPal preferred. I'm giving TGO members a shot at them first; if no bites, I'm going to list them on eBay.
