I have plenty of CNC Ported LSA and LS3 heads in stock. Turn key ready for $1100 a pair no core

I ended up ordering a set of the AFR mongoose heads guys. Thanks for your PM’s and responses.

Before you mount them up, be sure and clean up the spark plug threads.
In other words install some and make sure they start easy.

Andy, Have you ran the Mongoose heads before? Thoughts?

Good choice on heads! I bought a set of Mamo-fied AFRs for my ZR1.
Thanks for the spark plug hole tip Andy.

I did a bit of research before purchasing them.. looking forward to checking them out! Just have to decide if i wanna run the LS9 Gasket or use a LS7 gasket.. Seems like the bore sizing of the LS7 gasket is better suited for the heads but not sure if the material/make of the LS9 is of better quality...

I am running Cometic 5318-040 as recommended by Tony Mamo. They have a 4.160 bore. The AFR site specifically mentions them also.
Look under the recommended components section

I also bought the 6 bolt version just in case the LS9 block ever has to go and I go with a 6 bolt block.

I am looking at the cometic website and i notice they offer a .51 thickness and then a .56 thickness in the 4.160'' bore.. Not sure which one to get considering the LS7 measures in at a .51 thickness and the LS9 gasket at a .55.. Not sure which cometic would work the best?

I did the exact same.. I went with the 6 bolt version as a safety measure.. Who knows.. May want to upgrade down the line..

Either will work. Consult your builder and/or tuner?
