Is the combustion chamber diameter on the 243 heads larger than the cylinder bore of a 5.3? If so, I would definately get 5.7 gaskets, so you dont run the risk of the head gasket hanging out into your combustion chamber. Or just get L33 gaskets, since they came with 243/799s from factory.

oops, I dont know what made me think that, lol. I would run 5.3 gaskets, but if they had combustion chamber work to unshroud the valves, it still wouldnt hurt to measure the combustion chamber diameter.
