The only person saying the castings are different is you.

You're hearing yourself...

There is none besides the valves. And factory 243 heads do have a D-shaped exhaust port.

so if i got some 799s and polished them and maybe port then, it would be a good budget investment right? im going to be boosting my ls1 with 8lbs of boost rear mounted. keeping it a simple budget build.
