If you wanted to start from scratch and can get some Bowtie Vortec heads, Gary Hettler did fantastic work for us.

Good morning to all,
The Vortec castings were good but were very crack prone. Had tried to help with coatings but to no avail. The Dart castings worked very well and didn't crack, availability is a problem. Maybe there's another casting that can be used, but not sure at this time. Once Iron starts to crack, it doesn't stop.
