From what I have gathered, those heads are good for about 20 hp on a stock motor. And that is a pretty good price for them aswell, I say go for it.

Assembled 243s go from the 450-525 price range if they are assembled and are in good shape.


But dollar/hp ratio is not very "loving".


I would save up 500 more bucks and pick up some ported 243s or 5.3L heads.

well they come off a friends z06 and he was selling the heads and cam together for $500 on a local forum. I wasnt too interested in them really. I was kinda just curious because everyone on that forum was saying that was too expensive

That is a decent price for assembled with the hollow/sodium valves.

It's a good deal, if they do in fact come off a Z06. 243 castings were also available on other cars and do not have the lightweight sodium filled valves.

they should be good for 20rwhp.
