Re: heads

To run stock rpm on 87 octane with tha hull design you have the best heads now. The swirl pattern on the XP/GT heads are hard to beat.

Re: heads

Benny,
I've gotten used intake filler blocks from these guys: http://stores.ebay.com/BOAT-RECYCLERS-OF-WILMINGTON
I run these rubber fillers in all my blocks.
Be sure you tell them you have a V6, as the V4 are different.
They are on the web through ebay, but you can get their phone off the website. Call them and give them a credit card and they will ship direct. I've ordered a number of things from them and they have always given good service.
You might ask them what old crossflow heads they have in stock as they tear down tons of old engines.
