Default 2004 cracked head

Hi guys! New to the forum had some questions. I have an 2004 with a cracked head. I have heads and cam off my 2002 Z06 and was wondering if anyone has done this. Trying to save a little money for the car dont want to put it in the truck. Thanks

Yep those heads will work, but will definitely need some sort of tuning to get it running right.

Those heads are no good for you. Send them my way and I'll make sure they go to a good home

You'll lose compression assuming you have 243 heads. They have a larger combustion chamber. The extra flow may still increase the engine power, but I would expect a loss in low end.

How big of a truck do you have? If you have a RCSB and the intake off your Z06 throw that on there too!! If you have a CCSB then keep the truck intake, assuming I'm not missing something.

I would stay with the truck intake and it's longer runners then. You'll lose too much low end IMO.
