Hey guys,
I'm, looking ot buy a set of 350cid Vortec heads either the #906 or #062 casting numbers. Where do yo guys recomend I buy around the GTA? or in Ontario? Used or re-man are o.k. with me.
ANy leads? ANy wreckers sell them?
TIA
Andrew

 

Don't know where to tell you locally. Most scrap yards want to sell a whole engine, not just heads.

I'd try boards like here, camaroz28.com ect.

 

try ebay. I got a set for about $400 Canadian after shipping. Can also keep an eye on the TriAd and Buy and Sell if you want to get a set locally.

 

Kevin,
I too have been looking through the ebay pages - but I am afraid to bid on something so expensive, especially if the heads come to me cracked etc...etc.. I would be pritty pissed if the items were not packaged well and the mailman 'dropped' the item- I guess you have to take a chance sometime. Besides, for a part(s) like this, I try to stay local/Ontario, to help keep our shops alive - too much is getting farmed out these days, it's no wonder our hobby is getting more and more difficult to enjoy....here in Canada/Ontario
For $400.00 bones were those heads ready to go? or do/did you still need to send them out?

A bit off topic guys, but what is all the controversy about the #906 vrs the #062 castings? The only difference that I am aware of is the application years for the #062 - '98 and up where as the #906's were out earlier - '96? What gives?
Same valve size, weight, chamber size etc...
TIA
Andrew

 

I need to change the valve springs to fit my application, but if i was using a flat tappet cam, i could run them as is.

I'd try and find a set of 062's. I've heard some of the early 906's had a different valve seat or something to that effect, and are not as efficent as the later ones. The later 906's are fine to use though.

 

Anything in the casting of the early #906 heads that let'd me know they are of the early version? - date code sequence of?... Thanks
