vortec heads

[NecroWolf]

well after doing this year's taxes i believe a vortec head conversion is in my furture. what is the better way to do the for the intake? make the intake match the heads? or make the heads match the intake? and what gaskets would i want to use? intake and head. i guess this means i get to throw away my home made plenum gasket.

thats the best way. lots of vendors will do this for you for ~$300-$500

Re: vortec heads

you can choose what vendor suits you but I wouldnt pay more than 500 for a intake conversion with a full port job . Js welded my intake and Rpm did my porting . I couldnt be happier . Without porting the intake runners you have too much of a restiriction between the small intake ports and the large vortecs .

Re: vortec heads

i would leave the porting up to your engine builder

If you have the adventuresome spirit, and like to learn how to do something yourself...

Match both the heads and the intake to the gasket. I believe the felpro gasket is the 1203.

Feel free to ask any questions.

Re: vortec heads

felpro 1203 and 1268 have both been used

comes welded, ported and ready to install.this is where i got mine...excellent craftsmanship..and you don't have to ship to multiple places to have the work done.just ship them your old one and you will get back a nice new vortec ready intake.

+1 ... I'm having the intake matched to the newer bolt pattern, I'll get some pics in the near future I expect
