Big bore help
I'm installing a 95" big bore on my 2001 EGC and I found a set of heads from a 103 CVO, does anyone know if these would work on my build and would I get improved air flow? I here that 1996 and above heads flow better, is this true?
Thanks
Thanks

Get a specific part number...I remember reading at one time that "CVO" heads were being dumped on ebay because they had a potential to fail.
in terms of flow- you can get about any result you want from having your heads worked- the key is choosing the correct spec to match your cams, exhaust, and intake fuel delivery system.
you need to match this because "hi flow" can also mean "less velocity"- which may work with one type of motor build but not another
It all depends what your desired end result is.
that would be a discussion with an experienced tuner/builder.

Or maybe he meant 96" and above heads?
The heads should work fine but I do not know the CC's of the heads in question. You will need to pick a piston that will compliment your build with these heads as I am sure they are not stock 84-86 CC combustion chamber.

There are HDF sponsors who do head porting and provide other tuning services. They can probably also advise on those 103" heads. I don't see how buying a second set of heads is thrifty! Far better to make the most of those you already have.
I was able to obtain a nice set of head off a 2008 that was wrecked and had only 1700 miles for $200. That should add the flow I need. Not looking to race. But thanks. According to Bigboys these later model heads flow allot better.
