Heads for 99 Express 3500
My work van has the Vortec 5.7 motor in it and has a stuck valve in one of the heads--wondering what heads besides rebuilt replacements will fit on this motor...Looking for the cheapest alternative if there is one...And if anyone knows of any good places for rebuilt heads, that would be great too. Thanks in advance.

How many miles on the motor? Might be more economical to put a junk yard motor in. They are fairly easy to swap. You should be able to get a junk yard motor for around $500 give or take $100-200.

Woulnd't it be cheaper to take the head to a machine shop and have them fix the bad valve?

Maybe just me.
