vortec heads

[SonomaGTlover]

Here is a question about heads that i didnt see on any of those pages or in searches. I work at advance and i was checking out heads, the typhoon head and syclone head have diff part numbers, the syclone was the same as the regular W vin s10 but the typhoon had a diff part #. I thought the heads were the same? I am in the process of putting 96+ heads on mine and an intake along with a stand alone fuel system.. so another question. exhaust manifolds. will the stock sy/ty exhaust manifolds fit on a 96+ vortech head. From all my research it will fit on the 94-95 heads. I come to this site because the s10 forums people are complete idiots.

I had a problem mounting my headers. As you can see in the pic, the holes are in a different location. Fitment of the stock exhaust should be ok, but for some reason there may be a space issue around the area of the new hole location. The old location would have been in that notched area of the flange. I just notched the flange and so far everything seems to be ok.

are the vortec heads cast iron?

...were your spacers made on a cnc machine or did you cut them out by hand?

I just cut them by hand. They didn't have to be perfect, just close since all of the cut areas will be welded/filled in some way or another. Once the welding is done i will clean them up and do a little port matching.

when i rebuilt my motor i had to stretch one manifold too.. i went to the dealer and a mechanic let me borrow his tool..(that sounds kinda bad huh)
