Wes Stone Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Where is a place I can get my heads milled around town for a good price? LS 317's just looking for a .030 mill. If anyone can take em to work and do it i'll pay you or whatever. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickey4271647545519 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 .030 is a good bit to mill off of a head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 .030 is a good bit to mill off of a head. Pretty common to mill LS1 heads down, I think you can go further then that. Being 317s they have a 72cc chamber, so I can understand milling those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Stone Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I've seen ppl mill the 317's down to .050. I just want to get it to stock LS1 compression and still be able to run a decent cam. I think i'm already going to have some PTV issue's with the .030 and say an MS4. I'm having Pat G @ EPS doing a custom cam though. The 317's flow just as well as the 799's and 243's but have less compression. I figured a basic p&p and mill i'll have what I want instead of spending $400 on 243's and then still no p&p. We'll see what happends. If it sucks then i'll swap em out eventually. I'll check on this M&M place since i'm in delaware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedfocus1647545489 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 M&M all the way, fo sho. Even if you weren't local. I assume that's angle milling? If so .030 is alot but not crazy. Watch the fitment of the intake though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Stone Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Called M&M prices are GREAT compared to other places I called. I'm kinda rethinking this milling thing. I'm milling them bc I don't want to drop the cash on the 799 or 243 castings. I'm not sure if i should scrap this idea and just get the other heads or what now. Decisions Decisions.

twistedfocus1647545489 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 The worst LS-Series heads still flow pretty damn good compared to earlier stuff, so try to keep an even keel. Not saying the others aren't better, but if these will flow nearly the same for less money, including the milling, why not? Just make sure you don't have to modify the intake at .030" and you're good. Or so it seems to me, though I'm not an expert. Mike can give you better guidance for sure.

twistedfocus1647545489 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Performance research. Also not a bad choice, they ported my Edelbrocks back in 99 and did a stellar job, however the dude that did the port work back then has been working for JEGS since 2000 so I can't vouch for them currently.

TurboNova Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 yes M&M just had him do all the work on my forged 370. .030 is not much hell I have had a head .090 done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Stone Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Thanks guys. Still shopping for some 799's or 243's. I think i'll get better results and be happier in the long run.

gbracing81 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Don't forget to check pushrod length when you have them milled. If you angle mill the heads you will also have to have the intake matched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
