Default LS3 valve vs LS6 valve

What is the LS3 Valve length? is it any longer than a LS6 valve. I know the LS6 valve was a 0.6mm longer than ls1 valve, but Id like to know if LS3 valve is the same length.

GM used the .0236" longer valve to compensate for the smaller base circle
of the LS6 cam (standard length pushrods). IIRC the LS3 cam has nearly
identical lift specs as the LS6 does (.550ish) sooo without having one in hand
to measure we are only speculating. Maybe the GEN IV section would be a
better place to get a definative answer ???
