I have a 2004 C5 ZO6. From want I have read, on the forum here. This motor has a 243 head. Correct? Plus I have seen a 799 head mentioned. What is the 799? Is it better or the same as the 243 head? And what motors do the heads come on? plus I saw somewhere, that the LS2 heads are also a 243. So is the LS6 ZO6 head, the same as the LS2 head? Or is it just. A certain year head that is the same, as the LS6 ZO6 HEAD? I was thinking about buying, a set of spare heads, just to have them worked. Then collecting, a cam & a few other motor parts. Before taking the motor apart. I have a set of LS7 heads. Will they fit on the LS6 motor?

243 are the heads the come stock on a c5 z06..799 are the heads I believe(not sure) come on a LS1 corvette or a camaro/trans am. Most GM heads will fit on the c5z's.
I apologize i was wrong. 799 and 243 heads are the same with the exception of the valve stems(only difference). The weight of the valve is difference. I know LS3 and LS7 heads wont fit..but 5.3 heads will and raise compression.
