Re: whats the difference between an ls1 engine and ls6? Different cam, heads. Compared to the older LS1's, it has a different intake setup, as well as all new LS motors having better rod bolts which has increased the durability of the bottom-end tremendously.

The block is different as well. I have heard that 01+ LS1's receive the LS6 block, however.

Re: whats the difference between an ls1 engine and ls6? besides whats been said.
different injectors, different PCM programming.
The biggest bennefit you have if rebuilding or modding a LS6 motor over a LS1 motor is the Head design. and its not that much over a ls1 head when comparing them both fully ported.
