    The 4.8 and 5.3 have the same head. I believe there are two casting numbers: 852 and 706

    It will raise your compression with 5.3 heads on a 5.7 but I think the valves are smaller than the LS1 heads. Mine are casting no 241 and I think the LS6 heads are no 243.

    Yea, it will raise the compression close to 10:8.
