    Pics

    Here are some pics. I took off the heads and they seem to be fine. None of the bolts on the side that recived the impact were bent when i took them out. The only visual damage is the metal tips are mashed in on the head right below where the valve cover would meet in the pic. The other pic is the side of the block that had the head with damage. Other than that everything is perfect, harmonic balancer is fine and the flywheel was not attached for the shipping.

    Even if the heads are damaged i wasnt going to use them i have some 243 and a ls6 cam going in it instead.

    Then what are you worried about? Seems like this should be a good project. I was in the same boat as you except my cylinder was pitted so i had to take it back. But i got a better deal second time.
    So is this gunna be N/A?

    Yea N/A nothing special maybe over this summer i will buy a FLT. Im split between a stage 5 4l60e or a stage 3 4l80e. What do you guys think? Also i am converting this engine to a ls6. Im in debat weather i should use my stock truck intake or the ls6 intake i have both or should i try to get my hands on a 90mm SSR Intake? Thanks

    Put it tigether, just make sure and file off any raised surfaces that would cause a leak. Your call on the intake, there's a good write up on the LS6 swap.
