I sure would like to see the intake side of that head. smile.gif They sure are tempting us holdouts to convert to the Vortec hardware. Maybe on the next motor. tongue.gif

Nice head, but $1100 for 2 delievered from GMParts Direct.
Sounds like a iron head class part.

A Brodix 200cc RR will probably out flow them for a little more money. About the same as what a new intake would cost.

Your right, some classes require factory iron heads. This will be a real boon for them.
