yeah but I keep getting little setbacks. I was putting the rest of my engine togather and found out I need shorter pushrods. So thats not getting done till tomorrow when they get here. Then finding an oil pan, I thought I had one but the guy never got back to me about it. Nothing too bad, but it's still pushing things back further. I'm looking at getting a harness made from a guy in prescott. But thats only if funds allow, i'll probably end up mating the 2 harnesses for now. Should have a few updates this weekend for you guys.

small update
got my heads back from being milled, had .025 taken off wich ended up giving me a little over a 61 cc chamber. which means I will be running at just under 10.6:1 compression. got them assembled with my dual springs, and got them put on the engine. after all that I found out my pushrods that I just got last week were too long. so I called up texasspeed and had a new set 2 days later(I've only had good experiances with them). then I installed my pushrods and roller rockers, one od my rocker bolts got in a fight with my heads and the bolt won. after I pulled out the bolt with the threads from the head I went and found some helicoils and a tap and got that fixed. Then cut all my rocker arms down that were sticking into my intake ports.
-anyone need a set of 7.4 hardened pushrods?
No i really want an f-body pan or ls2 vette pan, if all else fails though i'll keep you in mind.

get a set of ported 317 heads. the 72cc chamber is supposed to be perfect for ls1 turbo projects. you'll want to run dished pistons.
for your stroker build this is what you want
to run 9.5:1 get the 317 heads(72cc), 4" crank, stock ls1 bore (3.900), and a -10cc piston. with the stock .052 thickness gasket(go with whatever type you want, just that thickness)
to get 9:1 get the same setup with -15.5cc dish pistons.
for 9.5 to 1 you need a combined cc+dish of 82cc, for 9:1 you need 87.5 combined cc's. if you cant find the exact dish you want find the closest one(a hair larger) and mill your heads to get the the right amount of total cc's.
hope that helped.

Thanks that helped out alot man. But I'm trying to steer away from having to buy another set of heads I have the 241's. I think the right piston and gasket combo would get me there. Any updated news on yours yet?

I used a piece of thin sheet aluminum that work had in the scrap bin. cut and bend to fit then jb welded it into place. it really was pretty easy, you should be able to get a piece of aluminum from ace to do it for pretty cheap. you could also just use fiberglass and resin if you know how to use it.
No updates on the truck, I'll be gone this weekend for the wife and my aniversary. but updates will be coming soon.
Razor, you'll need a piston dish between -17cc and -22cc to get 9:1 9.5:1 if you want to run the 241's thats using stock gasket thickness. but if at all possible you will want to upgrade to 317's, they flow better then 241's, even when both are ported the same.
