Yeah, 241 are LS1 heads used on '01-'02 F-bodies, and others.

I think 243 is LS6 heads.

Even F-bodies that got the LS-6 blocks,
still got the LS-1 heads. What, you think
the General is that kind of generous?

Heads with casting number 241 are LS1 heads and 243 is the LS6. The good news is casting 241 supposedly flows very well compared to the 98-00 heads. I got lucky - my car was a late build in 2000 and got 241's.

Here's a link showing the details - Common question...head casting numbers and details
