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.

EQ part number is ch454a. Look on eBay. I bought mine there. $435 a piece bare.

If you want lower price I know a guy selling some 088s. They are freshwater and came off good running motors to upgrade Pm me and I'll put you in touch with him

Does anyone know if someone stocks complete EQ's not bare castings, I need a complete soulution so I can get boat up for memorial day

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

@iculookin that ch454a part number will fit a HP500 gen6 block? I guess the 454 part of the # throwing me off, what motor did you put these on?
