Used GM LS 706 Cylinder Head, Cathedral Port
This is a used OEM-style GM LS 706 cylinder head. The 706 casting is a cathedral port LS cylinder head commonly found on 4.8L and 5.3L GM LS-based engines, including applications such as LM7, L59, LM4 and LR4.
706 heads are popular for stock replacement, budget LS builds and small-bore LS applications where the smaller combustion chamber helps maintain or increase compression. They are often used in LS combinations where a simple, affordable factory cylinder head is preferred over more expensive aftermarket options.
Because of the smaller combustion chamber, 706 heads are also commonly used in budget performance builds where increasing compression is part of the engine combination. This makes them a popular choice for cost-conscious LS builds, including some high power turbo or supercharged setups when combined with the right short block, camshaft, fuel system and tuning.
