Question 6 liter block differences?

Question for anyone knowledgable or having a good background with the 6.0 blocks: Is there any difference in the blocks out of the silverados / denail-sierras vs the ones out out an escalade? My reason for asking is that I heard the wall thinkness on the blocks in the escalade are thicker and better for boring out for big cubes. Anyone have an answer for that? Thanks for the help.

No. The Engine RPO code is different. The actuall blocks them selves are the same. LQ4 and LQ9 both use Iron blocks based around the LS1. The only real diffrence was the pistons and engine programing. They were dished in an LQ4 and flat tops in the LQ9. The Iron Block's can go upward of .060 over but it's recomended to have them sonic checked before you go that far.
