Need info on these heads immediately!

Last 3 numbers - "059" - are those the fame'd "Vortec" heads that everyone is swapping too or some other head?

EDIT IN: It appears they are... but have the smaller valves. If you had the chance to buy them for $25 plus shipping, would you? Can they be machined for larger valves?

Thanks.

No.

They are 305 heads.

Not the same thing at all.

Not worth $25.

Essentially the same thing as 350 vortec heads. Chamber is almost identical, they use the 305 valve sizes, but share the 350 vortec ports. They flow like 230 CFM instead of 239 like the 350 ones do. A friend of mine put some on his 400(drilled the steam holes) in his montecarlo and it runs awesome.
