6 liter block differences?

Question for anyone knowledgable or having a good background with the 6.0 blocks: Is there any difference in the blocks out of the silverados / denail-sierras vs the ones out out an escalade? My reason for asking is that I heard the wall thinkness on the blocks in the escalade are thicker and better for boring out for big cubes. Anyone have an answer for that? Thanks for the help.

The Iron Block's can go upward of .060 over but it's recomended to have them sonic checked before you go that far.
