IS it a 10 bolt rear? If so 3.08 and lower gears are 2-series and 3.23 and higher are 3-series.

If you talk to flea real nice, he may sell you the one I had in my 89, 3.23 gears too.

thats good to know...got any vortecs for sale at ur shop and how much for a pair...

You're gonna be looking at $600 for the pair assembled new.

You might be able to find some used ones and take a chance, otherwise you'll be into those for atleast $300-400 to have em ground, surfaced, sealed, sprung etc. Not to mention another $300 to have them milled for screw in studs and guideplates and buying the studs/guideplates needed for anything over a 256XE cam.

I don't know what SDPC charges for shipping but I'll match that $310/per head when you're ready to buy.

your still going to have to send them off to have screw in studs and the right springs installed set to the proper height even if you buy new. Unless you can come up with a assembled set that are all ready for some good power!

I have a set of vortec heads but they make three styles with three different casing numbers. The ones I have kicking around in the shop have crappy mid lift flow. Would be good though once someone ported them out and made them flow!
