stock ls1 heads on a 5.3 motor?
Has anyone ever slapped some stock ls1 heads on a 5.3 motor? I have a friend who's uncle has a SSR truck and it was the last year before they put the ls1 in them. I have my old set of 853 heads from my 99 camaro laying around and he was wondering if they would give the 5.3 a little more power. I don't even know if they will bolt on or not but he is wanting to try it. He is also wanting to try a ls6 intake at the same time. Will the heads and ls6 intake bolt on to a 5.3 motor?

it will not have ls6 heads, it will have ls2 heads.
ls2 and ls6 use same casting buy not same designation
ls6 use sodium filled liteweight valves(expensive)
some of the trucks are equipped with 243 and 799 heads which are the same as ls2 but come with flat top pistons.
