Your car has an 806 casting head, not 805. The 97-98 heads are 806 perimeter bolt castings, not 853's. The 853 is 99-00 (centerbolt), 241's started in the middle of 2000 and ran through '02.

The 806 and 853 are pretty much the same aside from perimeter bolt vs. center bolt. The 241's are a different casting method and might flow a tiny bit more stock. All three are pretty equal when ported.
