Default Head Number ID

Can someone please post a list of what heads are 241's, 243's etc....I always see them posted on the classifieds and I'm not sure which ones came off what engines exactly.....I was thinking of picking up a stock set of LS1 heads cheap and having them PP.....Anyone have suggestions for the best ones to look for?

I would get aftermarket heads, for the price your gonna pay for PP it would cost you for aftermarket heads. check the local sponsors on here and see what they have to offer. I got cnc LS6 heads for $1200. they flow alot better then stock ls6 heads. plus I got bigger then stock intk/exhst valves, smaller chamber for increase combustion.... .02

U can get a set of used 243 heads for $500 which is a lot cheaper than a new set for $1200.There is a guy selling a set for $450 on here right now.

243's with a P&P job would be a good bang for the Buck.

Next step up would be a nice used set of Darts.
