Need help identifing castings

18 degree heads are great heads, just that you'll need to fabricate headers or buy a set of trick ones from Mike Lee at AR Autosports to make them work, and there is only one intake manifold out there that is a bolt up piece.

I'll say it again, Vortec heads are the best head to use, when it comes to bang for the buck buildups. If you have some huge goals set, and are ready for some hassles... then start looking into others.

You can get away with very *little* fabrication.
Motor bolts right in..
headers - fit other than if you use 2000 accessories... even then, a cut and couple welds on the crossover makes it fit.
Talk to McCoy, he has a 98 or something RWD S10 with a stock block & crank big buildup (Vortecs, mild cam, FAST). Just ran 12.0 @ 120 on a very conservatively tuned 15psi. First track run on the truck, fresh motor.
With the 18s you'll need to completely fab headers, and you should really run a *big* cam to match the heads.
I'm trying to make your life easier, I've been down that fabricate everything road... it is no fun unless you do this work for a living and you want a *very* unique vehicle. As it is, your truck will be unique.
It's all your call obviously, I just try to steer people clear of PITA ideas...
