No. Purchased them new from Texas Speed today. I was looking at spending around $1200 on the 5.3 heads after shipping and having 3 damaged exhaust manifold bolt holes helicoiled. Got the 225's for $1780 with sodium filled valves, minus valve springs as I already have a BTR kit.

You might want to get the Melling 10295, the 10296 might suck your pan dry.
The 10295 is 10psi over stock pressure. I've been using them for years.

You might want to re think the SLP 25% under drive pulley I had one on mine and I spent several years and thousands of dollars trying to figure why my knock sensors were pulling timing out at higher RPM! Went back to stock Harmonic Balancer and all was well JUNK Parts
