Re: Question on LS 6 block in F-Body </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Originally posted by AZ28driver:
<strong> If you are one of the lucky or unlucky souls that winds up with an LS6 in your F-body I have a big question for you. When doing a cam swap what is the proper length push rod? Doesn't the LS6 engine in Corvettes have shorter push rods than an LS1? So if you have an LS6 block in your F-body does that also mean you have all the other LS6 parts? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The LS1 and LS6 blocks should be dimensionally the same as already mentioned. The length of pushrods really has nothing to do with the block but has more to do with the cam, heads and valve train. The F-bodies that have the LS6 block have LS1 heads and the LS1 cam meaning meaning the pushrods should be stock F-body LS1 length. There really is no difference between the tolerances of the 2 blocks.
