I think the biggest thing with the 5.3 heads is they bump compression, but I dont know if they flow any better then the 241's unported. I would look into getting some 243's or 799's. Or you could send those heads to TSP or TEA and get them ported.

Don't waste your time, sell those heads on ebay buy a set of 243's and send them to TEA. If you go any other route you will spend more money believe me I know from first hand experience.
