I am pretty sure they never put 243's on LS1's in Camaros. The only thing they did do is some later 02 models came with a LS6 block.

No, 243s were never a factory installed head on the LS1.

my 98 has a LS6 block, previous owner messed up original motor and got a LS1 crate from GM. i started wondering when it had 241's on it, i ran the numbers on the back. 11561166---something like that last 2 are 66 or 68 cant remember, but its the number for 01LS6 block. something to look for i guess. its also a really hard number to read/find!
