Needs some work (lining of #6 is scratched), but free is hard to beat. Would make a great project this winter for someone wanting to replace their tired motor, or wanting to do a build (turbo, anyone?)

I'd pick it up if I was remotely close. I am going to build up my friend's 4.2 that's sitting in his garage for my Turbo. Would save me the $500....

Its the aluminum valve cover so we know its good one,...with only 120k on it might even get away with just a honing and re-ring in #6,...says he'll through in manifolds and extra parts,..dam! wish I was a bit closer id grab it.

Also found a $50 transfer case in NJ with 106k.

If it was near me, I'd snag it just for the coils and injectors!

I am not too far away from that. Might just have to hop on it. I want the 2006 head.

If you snag it, let me know and maybe we can work something out on the coils and injectors.

Those coils won't fit. Changed in 06. He would need them for his swap.

Thanks for the heads up.

So what made the 06 heads better than previous yrs,..aside from the aluminum valve cover ?

I don't recall exactly what the changes were, I believe it's actually in the cams. But there were a handful of things that were changed. But it went from 270HP (2002) to 275HP (2003-05) to 290HP for 2006-09.
