Default i was under assumption that ls6/1 blocks were same

i figured it would be easier to swap heads than entire engine, i had heard that ls1/ls6 block and rotating assembly was the same, only heads, cam and intakes were diff. ls1derfull said ttr 224 cam would make good power. will that run with stock valve springs,etc.? where do i find other poss. grinds, with info on what will work with my ls6 heads? The other night someone mentioned computer mods to run ls6 heads/cam etc.?...can't you just tune it with one of those programs for laptops i read about? thanks in advane for help....ive built many a small block but am new to what makes these babys tick
