definately headbolts unless u have studs and do the lifters. i have the ls7 lifters, they are nice cheap insurance and you don't need the chain but that is good insurance too. yet to hear of a borken chain sure one is out there though

im on a limited budget, so would the lifters be better to get than the timing chain? how about oil pump?
lifters are much better and your oil pump is probally good but i think their cheap and its easy to do with heads with the heads off. once again cheap insurance but personally i would say your good. i've never heard of an oil pump going bad at 40k unless we're talkin dodges

most expensive thing will be the tune......grrrr

i honestly dont see why they wouldnt, alot of ppl on here have made good power on 241 heads, if your on a budget like me and cant afford an aftermarket setup, get your stockers shaved and ported....i found my ls2 heads for 425 shipped, so i couldnt pass them up.
Thanks for the info.
