I'm just trying to lend a hand (within legal parameters). I've said this many times but it seems people like paying extra for parts or don't know me well to trust.

Getting you to lug a pair of heads as part of your luggage allowance is a big ask though, or are you attached to the US forces in Europe, and so can get them freighted across?

Thanks for the input everyone, certainly a lot to consider. I had a look at the ls9 heads on jegs and I notice they do a ported version fully built as well at about $800 a head which is tempting. I'm not really able to get a definitive answer on whether ls9 heads are a bolt on to an ls2 either (different size bolts for one) and whether they'd also work with the fast intake. I have also seen suggestions that the ls3 head may be a better choice for NA. Perhaps the advice to talk directly to summit or such and ask them is the best way to go. I will be in the US in a couple of weeks so I could pop some in my suitcase for the return trip.

Send me a message. Not sure if this is against forum rules since someone requested your post be deleted.

I'm fine for parts so won't message. I'm surprised about the request to delete. I would be happy to delete if I have put something up that I shouldn't have. confused

Large/heavy items are tougher because I have to declare through customs (still doable). Basically anything that can ship within the restrictions of USPS is easy.
