Running 4.8. Would a head swap give me any extra HP. I don't know all the different castings. A clear response on the differnt castings and what could be expected from each would be very appriciated. Only other thing i plan to do is a cam if that makes a difference. NO boost or spray. Thanks guys.
u can get prc 5.3 heads with cam of you choice form texas speed and performance for about 2,000 comes with new gaskets and head bolts springs push rods and timing chain and oil pump if you want PRC 220cc 5.3L Stage 2.5 CNC Ported Heads
Doing some looking. The ls6 243 heads with 64.4 combustion chamber, will bold to a 4.8? If they do, can they be milled down to the 4.8 61mm combustion chamber size for same cr?
I'm going off the fact of being able to get a set for cheap, if I can even find any
Would it even do any good?
those PRC heads are good, i want to get me a set of em.....
Yes, they flow about 20cfm better, and can be milled about .020 to drop cc's to about 61. Just check manifold fitment when reinstalling.Quote:

Im skeptical with going with a company after we went through and fixed a lot of flaws with mine. You may even come out cheaper also
Curious to know if the 862s from '99-'04 were different from the 706s that were found on '04s. I haven't found any data that states anything better/worse on either.
