THey run better rods, pistons, and bolts than the gen 3 stuff and from what ive read it seems they can take around 650whp in most applications on the stock short. The older gen 3's around 550

I think you'd be giving up a lot of power using either LS1 or 243 heads. L92 heads aren't expensive and are nearly identical to LS3 heads. You'd need an LS3 or L76 intake as well.
