From a 2001 - 2004 LS1 as for the rusted springs, I would have them worked over before using!

They would do alright, I would have them milled to bump compression. What heads are on your 5.3?

You likely have 862 or 706 heads on your 5.3 now. I'd stick with them or find some 243/ 799 heads because 241s won't be worth your effort.

I would find out what heads I had first before spending money and like blue says, I would go for a set of 706 or 243s. You could pick up a good set cheaper than paying for the machine work it will take to get them cleaned up. Get new heads and mill those for compression and wall ah

You'll be able to find your casting number on the side of the head towards the front of motor
