Yeah I did I have 2 I'm looking at, both are off a 06 corvette so they are LS6 heads with the sodium filled valves. One set is stock for $400 shipped and the other are ported and I can pick them up for $500. Haven't decided which ones I want yet though.

i have the injectors intake tbody and rails. all i need is the ls2 adapter harness. all the parts are off my brother-in-laws tbss. i get to keep the parts i replace. he put cnc'd ls6 heads 225/230 cam and a ported intake. he is in the process of replacing the rails and injectors so i will have the whole assy. from looking at it looks like it will bolt right up. it is a tall intake so no need for the ls1 water pump or bracket.
