Default Cast Head Gurus...Need help

I need a new set of heads to get me back out on the water. What are my best choice for cast iron Heads for a HP500, need something regularly available not weeks of lead time and also something, complete with valves etc also somthing that is very decent right out of the box with no maching needed,

Thanks Will

Ck into the EQ's. Great price and great heads. Whatever u get though make sure and have someone go through the heads if you purchase complete.

You can also find complete on eBay however I just wouldn't recommend it. If you do purchase complete make sure and upgrade the exhaust valves and intake for that matter. I'd pm I.C.U. Looking and go that route for a quick fix.

I wouldn't buy complete either. Mine even needed the guides resized for marine use. If you want it running fast pm me for these 088s. They are the stock heads on the 500 efi
