Default Another Ls2 heads on ls1 ?

So i have been searching the site and found a couple of ls2 head topic but haven't got a clear idea. What is the difference with ls2 and ls 6 heads? I know they are the same casting and the valves are made of different materials. My question is, can an ls6 cam bolt in the ls1 with ls2 heads? I hear something about the valve lengths are different from ls2 and ls6 heads, but no clear straight answer. I'm asking because I plan on bolt ons with ls2 heads and ls6 cam for my dd. just not sure what additional things I need to do to get everything running. This may be a repetitive question but his is my first ls build and learning as I'm going. Haven't had much specs with search function. Any help appreciated. Thanks

I'm also trying to find about the stock springs and where to find the valve length? From what I can tell, the stock springs should be good for ls6 cam but still concerned about the valves.
