Part number for Vette Alum. heads
What is the part number for Corvette Aluminum L98 heads. What year did they differ from in 85-91, and are they old style intake or new style intake setup. Im looking to purchase and don't want to get fooled. My searches on the board were nothing but a waste this is the most direct way.

That would be the GM part number. There are no other suppliers.
WinnipegGTA,
What kind of motor are you building? I have these heads on my 305 as I'm limited to choice with the smaller bores. Lingenfelter says these heads are good for 450 n/a hp when ported and have an excellent i/e ratio - the reason I chose them as I'm getting blown sometime soon.
Also, that is the casting number that you want.

Just bringing the motor up to Corvette specs. Along with a fresh rebuild. Its a L98, in my '91 GTA. Just looking for a little bit more power without going over my budget.

There is little benefit from aluminum L98 castings over iron. Just port and polish your current L98 heads.
