The only real benefit to going for an LS6 longblock is getting the LS6 heads. You will pay more for the LS6 longblock, so you might be better off (cost and power) going for an LS1 longblock, get the heads ported, and add a cam.

The LS6 is also vented to reduce windage problems. ARE does have a a skid of the short blocks, brand new sitting on the floor.
