02 vettes came with 241 heads

02 z06 vettes came with 243 heads

Pull a couple valves and weigh them, if they are the lightweight hollow/sodium valves (ls6 engine) then they could have only came from 2 vehicles

2002-2004 corvette z06
2004-2005 ctsv

If they are the solid valves then they could have came from a number of engines like...

2001 corvette z06
Ls2 gto
Ls2 Corvettes 05-07
Gen 4 truck engines

Either way 243 heads are good, not all 243 heads are ls6 heads. Ls6 heads are only the 02-04 z06 and 04-05 ctsv.

So there is no difference in...
The castings, Flow #'s, or Valve sizes?

No. They are all basically the same

LS4's came with them as well, oddly enough.

Nice

They are a great budget head no doubt.

Ok the guy just told me they were off of an 01 Vette, can anyone tell what springs they have?

DietCoke Feb 10, 2016 07:42 AM

Full blue valve springs = 2001 ls6, does not have the lightweight valves.
