are you kidding? 853 is a crappy casting and they ditched those in 2000, thats why late 2000's and 01' 02' got 241's. so why would they go back to a worse head, answer: they didnt. you're wrong
you must be thinking that some 02's got 243 (LS6) heads.

Dude. How do you go from recommending the stickies be read to not caring what they say? The stickies are correct, whether you care or not. If you have seen 241's on 99's and 853's on 02's it is b/c someone swapped the heads or the complete engine at some point... period.

Cam i removed is 0965 S 19 0091 and from what i've been reading thats a 99-00 camshaft right? So my engine is a 99-00. So from all the information i have gathered here, my engine was a late 2000 GM replacement for the 99 Z28 that this came out of, and the 60K that was on the car would mean my engine actually has less than 60k on it then right? Hurray for the $710 complete harness to PCM Ebay LS1!

it doesnt matter. there wasnt much diff between 853's and 241's. there basically the same head, the 241's weren't sandcasted so the castings are a little bit better. i doubt theres any noticable power differences.
