fbodys never came with 243 heads. The 243 casting only came on the ls6 and some ls2s. And no, the 243 is far superior to the 853 casting, and since your car is a 2000 im pretty sure you should have 241's, which are only slightly better than 853's.

It depends on when in 2000 your car was made. My car was made in november of 2000 and has 241 heads. The 243 heads came on the ls6, ls2, the 4.8l chevy pickup ( this I know for sure) and I believe the 5.3 truck heads are 243 as well.

I don't think the 5.3 and 4.8 has 243's I believe 243's only came in ls6 and some ls2's.
