01-02 ls6 Intake Manifold
01-02 ls6 Intake Manifold The search button is working, so I'll start a thread. Okay, so I think I'm right, but correct me if I'm wrong. Some '01's have ls6 int. manifolds, all '02 have them. How can I tell if the '01 has it. And how important is it, performance wise. A little extra horsepower, or is it significant. The reason why I'm asking is because I'm looking at two WS6's right now, an '01 with 4,500 miles for $22.5K. and an '02 with 12K miles for $23.5K. Now I know I can talk them down, so the price for the car isn't the issue, it's going to be the performance. Any help would be appreciated.

Rumor has it that some '02 blocks may be ls6 blocks, but I wouldn't put much emphasis on that. You'll be fine with either purchase.
Have fun!

Yeah, ported oil passages in the block bulkheads.... nice, but nothing worth altering a decision between one or the other.
actually, there are bigger more refined "windows" in the crankcase bulkheads for better breathing between cylinder bays, at high rpm's this would equate to better windage control/balance in the crankcase.......and it does have a performance advantage

No, the 345hp models had a high flo lid and freer flowing exhaust.
