sbc chevy aluminum vortec heads

I got these heads from ebay and the seller failed to mention that they are vortec heads. I need non vortec style heads. I paid a total of $830 will sell for $700 plus shipping my loss is your gain. They have 210 intake runner, straight plugs and 74cc chambers max .600 lift 5/16 guid plates and 3/8 studs. Fits 87 and later.

Re: sbc chevy aluminum vortec heads

They look like a dual bolt pattern. Why would these not work for you. look like after market heads?

Because even though they have both bolt patterns ,you need a special raised runner non Vortec intake
to match up to the taller Vortec ports
Note gap at top with reg intake on similar aftermarket dual pattern Vortec heads

Re: sbc chevy aluminum vortec heads

take ur manifold to a welding shop and have them build up the top of the runners, then u can port out the ruunners to match


will cost u less then taking a loss on the heads and buying new ones

Re: sbc chevy aluminum vortec heads

Yeah listen to those guys, I would really like those heads, but I have seen air gap edelbrock intakes in Evansville for $100 which I think is one of the best street intakes.

Re: sbc chevy aluminum vortec heads

I have a bowtie intake that was already welded up for larger ports it is a single plane and would be a good fit for 210cc intake runners.
please PM me if you are interested I will sell cheap....like $150.
