You can get CNC ported 243 heads that flow 300+ cfm for $1150 per pair from Texas Speed. While they don't have the lighter valves, they aren't much more. I think it is money better spent.

I'm also planning to rebuild my 5.3 in my 2005 Crew and while I was planning on what parts to use, I have just one question; Will an LS3 cam work in my 5.3 with no problems?

If you have the single bolt cam style motor now it should work. I can't remember if it was after 2004 or 2005 that they switched over from three bolt cams to the single bolt style in the trucks.
