exhaust manifolds were more restrictive
head castings were different and werent as good as the later ones
15 gallon steel gas tanks
98 blocks have smaller cylinder sleeves and cant be remanned
early pcv system that was crap
no idle adjustment on the throttle body
not to mention little electrical gremlins that pop up in all fbodies but show themselves more in the 98s....such as window motors and leaky heads/tails/corner lamps

All that pretty much adds up to nothing...and like said the 241's arent much better...Only reason the 01-02's are faster in because of the LS6 intake.
