That's funny I show a difference of about $12 per head, the lower price to the bare head.

The bare heads where more expensive than the loaded heads at one point. I expect they still are at most walk-in dealerships. I didn't know that they'd changed the prices. The loaded heads are obviously the better deal even though the hardware is useless if you plan on running a decent cam.

Those are not Vortec Heads (Ebay ones) Look at the combustion chamber....the fast burn design is a heart shape combustion chamber not D shape like those....buyers beware!!!
