Heads to run LT4 HC with?

Where to get alluminum corvette heads. Do you think I would be safe going to a junk yard? Also, who would mill them down for me? Any other suggestions besides corvette heads. Some heads to run LT4 Hot Cam with, but not break me in the bank.Thanks guys:hail:

if you could get them at a junk yard. chances are they are gone if the people even know what they are but i'm heard the lt4 hot cam works really well with the vortec tpi setup, i'm looking into that now. good luck

Mill them to what? The aluminum L98 heads are already 58 cc if that is what your shooting for.
I got mine from Taber Corvette Parts for $400 for a complete used set. www.tabertouch.com
Just get them checked for cracks when you get them from where ever.

Are you sure you want to run a HOT cam? Look at the powerband of that cam vs. where you make power with the TPI... just a suggestion.

The Edelbrock 6085's are good. I have them and it makes good power.

Hm... I googled around and found this dyno graph:

I stand corrected. That looks pretty good!
