I got mine from LPE wil springs fro 1699.00, they were cheap and they will set them up and mill (if you need them to) and ship for free.

Best bang in my book too

243's are a cathedral port and l92's are rectangular port ls3's are rectangular port as well. They use different intakes so they are not interchangeable.

Not to mention that L92 heads use a different exhaust rocker arm, also. Don't forget to budget for that difference...
