Default What motor is it? LS1 or LS6?

Went over to a customers house to look at his sandrail.
He wanted to know what motor it had.

Truck intake..
I looked at the block part number.....12561168.....LS6 or 02+ LS1
went to look at the head casting #'s....they are ground off

Is there any way of telling if this is a LS6?
Do the valvesprings look different?

both casting numbers were ground off? you can check the exhaust ports. 01 ls6's have blue valve springs, green/yellow/orange are 02+.
