LS 243 heads

ShawnBoyMoody · 01-13-2014, 09:39 AM

I'm looking for a set of 243 heads for Krusty. Anyone have a set they'd be willing to part with? Thanks in advance.

got some 241s and a number punch and can make them 243s!

ShawnBoyMoody · 01-13-2014, 09:56 AM

Lol hot damn. Ive got a couple sets myself. Need a good stamp set tho.

I've got a set of basically bare 243's but one side is damaged due to a dropped valve.

lol i have the same thing. a set of 243's but one side broke a spring. i havent pulled the spring/valve to check for damage yet. i thought it had a bent valve, but the way the spring broke may be holding the valve open.

Great, I just need one good head from each of you lol.

ShawnBoyMoody · 01-14-2014, 07:48 PM

Shawn look for some 799's ports and chambers are identical to 243's difference is you wont find them with sodium filled exhaust valves, they are also common on 4.8's and cheaper than the coveted 243's.

Correct sir, however seems like the 799's are bringing just about as much money as the 243's from what Ive seen so far. Checked LKQ and Dons last weekend and they just dont have anything new enough to have the 799's. Here in a few years tho they ought to be slam full of them. And I could give two shits about the hollow/sodium filled valves myself lol. Thanks for the input buddy.

I think Im just gonna take .030 off my 317's and torque em down. Tired of waiting lol.

Those are mine and they need machine work. They have valves but two are bent.
