HEADS

Get those swirlies off of there.

A set of 113 castings (alum L98 from Vettes, and ZZ4) would be great; bolt right up to everything; you won't even believe it's the same motor.

Yup. Like they were born there.

Iunno... you can't have mine though.

Watch the classifieds on this site and Vette sites, eBay, your local craigslist, racejunk.com, etc. .... same kind of places you'd look to find and price anything else like that.

I'd expect you shouldn't have ANY trouble coming up with a set in running condition, or a set that needs work plus getting the work done, for $750 or so.
