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.

The 2001 had alot more going for them then just the intake. The engine was built just a bit better and alot internal issues especially in the oiling system were addressed.
