Some 01's and 02's came with the block. This is a good page with indent info.

The bigger bay windows in the bottom of the LS6 block improve oil circulation at the exspense of a small amount of block strength......Therefore a LS1 block is "technically stronger" than a LS6 block though not necessarilly better.....

The Gen IV blocks are better in both ways BTW
