Default 98 ws6 with 01 motor?

i was told that when i got the car it had a ls6 intake manifold. not really caring i took it with a grain of salt. now that im gettin ready to dyno it i just got curious and went out to look. i dont see any previsions on it for egr. i may be looking in the wrong place but i didnt see any in the front of the intake manifold. i was also looking for a PN and on the corner of the head it read 241. i thought that was only late model 00' and up fbodies with that. does this mean i might have the ls6 block? anyway this could be the right motor or is it really newer than 98 or whats going on here.

MOST 01 and all 02 F-Bodies had LS6 Intake Manifold. There's a bit chance you do have it, there's a way to check, i just forgot, just by looking @ it.

the 241 heads came on alter model cars so it may have an 01 motor in it. its possible you have an LS6 block but wont help your hp any

what is the advantages. i've been scared with oil problems. if its a newer motor should i still be scared of that?


is there any power gain in heads? i know in the intake manifold there is but what about in anything else?

no. all ls1 motors use oil and its just the ature of the engine. theres not really anything you can do but keep a watchful eye on the oil level
