thanks for the advise but I go arp wherever I can, the only original bolts on the entire motor are just for the front and rear covers lol.

I got in the new arp hardware, all looks good. I had a few questions about my motor, did ls1's come with the 04+bolt sizes? What about the ls6's? Not entirely sure what block I have

Maybe a later 5.3 aluminum block bored to 5.7 specs? (Yes, it can be done...)

It might have come out of a 2002 Camaro, but I'd bet it is NOT the original block.
Somebody please look up #12561168 as referenced above.

The number I am talking about is engraved in-front of bank 2. it is not a part number.

If it's a serial number, could be from a rebuilder. Does GM put serial numbers on the block?
