If the heads havent been milled, that cam will probably fit. But, you cant expect anyone to tell you that a cam will fit and there is no reason to not check PTV clearance. Just isnt going to happen. Both those vendors told you right, it will fit more then likely, but you have to check. Should be fine, but always double check.

I do believe that the 02-04 LS6 valves were slightly longer to make up for a smaller base circle camshaft.

I'm looking at some LS6 heads on e-bay. They have the sodium-filled valves. If these are slightly longer than the 241's, & I go with a .600 or so lift cam, then I'd have to get shorter pushrods, correct?

Buy a 20 dollar pushrod length checker.
