Identifying an LS1
I am considering buying a pull out motor complete with acc, PCM, and harness. To keep it "honset", I'd like to know how to best verify the model year by looking at the motor and/or it's code. I found this thread https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...fying+year+ls1 in my search, but the info only goes up to year 2000 (Z). I would appreciate info on the codes for 2001 and up. If there's another thread that covers this, then please direct me to it. A pic of where the code is located would be helpful too.
Thanks,
Andy1

Guys, if I can't use the head casting number as gospel, then I'd really like to be able to read the code.

"The tenth [character] is model year v= 97 w=98 x=99 z= 2000 I don't know what they did after that"
So I assume there is nothing similar in the 2001 and later part numbers stamped on the block?
