Default 02 ss w/ls6 intake factory???

I was just wondering, i was told that my car had an ls6 intake and ls6 clutch in it from the factory? Is that true? I was told this by some guys at an fbody shootout last weekend and i did not know this. Thanks for any replies!

01 and 02 had potential of a LS6 block, you gotta check the casting #'s in the back of the block, its hard, I dont care to see until the heads get pulled. As for the clutch, no.

No 243 castings, LS6 block maybe. Which means nothing, but the LS6 heads didn't end up on f-body cars.

Peace,
Craig.

The LS6 clutch was on all 01-02 F-bodies.

Check to see if you got the SPM heads, should have a triangle right by the plug area on the heads.

I was published that some F-bodies did make it out of the factory with the LS6 heads as well even though someone said they did not.

Differences between Years:

https://ls1tech.com/forums/showpost....80&postcount=2

"2001

1. A small percentage of 2001 and 2002 LS1s actually had LS6 blocks which had a different part number and a darker metal cast
2. Starting 2001, all LS1s came with an LS6 intake manifold without an EGR system
3. Advertised HP output was changed from 305 to 310 on base LS1s and from 320 to 325 on WS6s and SSs
4. 2001-02 cars have a smaller cam from the Vortec truck engines to increase low end torque
5. 2001-02 cars had 28 lb fuel injectors like the 98 cars (albeit different part numbers)
6. WS6 cars had a redesigned 5 spoke rim which was more wavy
7. WS6 cars got less suspension upgrades from a base Trans Am suspension than previous years
8. Manual transmission cars all came with the Z06 clutch"


Its all in the sticky threads, I mean the invisible threads at the top of each section that nobody ever pays attention to.

Peace,
Craig.

Assumptions like that are the reasons why I care so little.

But thanks for the link. Now I know its in a total different section of the site.

*edit* maybe put it in every section, get some saturation
