If I'm not mistaken they come on the new 5.3s. They will be better than ls1 heads.

I'm guessing they already come milled since if you put LS6 heads on a 5.3 the compression would be lower than 9.5:1. You should be able to just put them on as they are.

you can do a swap of your own heads and worked for 600 bucks if you do it yourself, if you pay someone it will cost you alot more.
