Do you have the stock 799 heads? They are better...with the ls1 heads you will lose a lil bit of compression..you would go from 9.9:1 to like 9.7-9.75:1 compression...you can get ls1 stock heads for under 100 bucks all day on parts classified...but a 100 for nice clean heads aint bad at all.

you should get 853 heads for free,unless there are rebuilt.you can get some used 243/799 heads for $400,worth 15 more hp.do a good valve job and get some good springs.look at TSP for heads ,parts ,and a cam.

Trying to keep the price down so I can get this thing in (S10) & peps are getting $400 plus for the 799's.
So the LS1's will work ??
Thanx for your input .

Thanx guys,just looking to get this running & found a set of 853 heads for $100 shipped.
Once I get it in then I will work on the performance end,its costing a lot to get it in as is so just looking to keep the cost down.
What head gasket would I use ?? 5.3 or 5.7 or are they the same ?? I might even bore it to 5.7.....
