Neither set is a good deal. 799 castings go for 400-450 in the classifieds often, and there would be A LOT of work to get those 5.3 heads anywhere near the flow of a stock 243/799 casting. Basically you'll be dumping more than $500 into the 5.3 heads.

Every part technically bolts on to the engine. But heads deal with the internal working of the engine, hence why it belongs in the internal section.
