12558806...97-98...350..........Gen.III, "LS1", aluminum, 68cc
12559853...99-up...350..........Gen.III, "LS1", aluminum, 68cc
12559895...00-up...325..........Gen.III, Vortec 5.3L
12564241...00-up...350..........Gen.III, "LS1", aluminum, 68cc
12564243...02......350..........Gen.III, "LS6", aluminum

N/M. Sorry about that...862's are '99-00 4.8/5.3L. I guess they just don't have them listed there. These should be your specs:

Combustion Chamber Volume: 61.15cc
Intake Port Volume: 200cc
Exhaust Port Volume: 70cc
Intake Valve Diameter: 1.89 inches
Exhaust Valve Diameter: 1.55 inches
