I know that the 99s have larger valves for starters, but I don't have the exact sizes of both on hand right now.

They actually have "PI" cast into them.

alright, yeah i heard someone talking about that, but i never asked, it would be where the part number is, correct.

also if they are truely off of a 99 the cam gear will be pressed on and not bolted on. the 96-98 heads bolt the cam gear on. also the cams will be bolted down with i think 6 individual caps where as the 96-98's have 2 big cam caps. hope that helps.
