WTB: LS1 Block I am looking for an LS1 block that is in good condition. I need it to have pistons, rods, and crank as I plan to transplant everything from my motor. I would like to know everything is in good working order and wouldn't mind seeing results of a compression and leak down test.
I am in the Baton Rouge/New Orleans area and would prefer local pick up but shipping is alright depending on condition and price.
Thanks

LS6 can also refer to a 454 CID Chevrolet Big-Block engine of the 1970s
The LS6 is a higher-output version of GM's LS1 engine and retains the same capacity. The initial 2001 LS6 produced 385 hp (287 kW) and 385 ft·lbf (522 N·m), but the engine was modified for 2002 through 2004 to produce 405 hp (302 kW) and 400 ft·lbf (542 N·m) of torque. The LS6 was originally only used in the high-performance C5 Corvette Z06 model, with the Cadillac CTS V-Series getting the 400 hp engine later. The V-Series used the LS6 for two years before being replaced by the LS2 in 2006. For 2006, the Z06 replaced the LS6 with the new 7.0L LS7.
The LS6 shares its basic block architecture with the GM LS1 engine, but other changes were made to the design such as windows cast into the block between cylinders, improved main web strength and bay to bay breathing, an intake manifold and MAF-sensor with higher flow, a camshaft with higher lift and more duration, a higher compression ratio and a revised oiling system better suited to high lateral acceleration.

No I believe theres more to it...I copied this:

All true but he isn't getting the main items that improve performance. Wasn't he looking for the short block? In that case the heads, and intake are irrelevant. Most of the increase in power came from those two. If you are including the camshaft then there is a slight difference in the two. As far as the basic short block, there is little difference in the two as far as performance. I was just making the basic point. I don't argue improved oiling and breathing capacity aren't a valuable upgrade. Just stating the block and rotating assembly themselves wouldn't make that same 405 horsepower with 241 heads and an LS1 intake manifold.
