Thumbs up Doing an LS6 PCV conversion, had a pleasant surprise...

I pulled my old valley cover off and was ready to cut the chunk of aluminum from my block with my dremel to make the new LS6 cover fit when I found my block doesn't have this protrusion. What gives? I thought older engines before 2001 had to be cut. My car is a 2000. I'm not complaining, just wondering. I am thrilled not to have to do this step.

Has your engine ever been replaced under warranty? If you don't know, PM me the last 8 of your VIN. If its been replaced, you probably have a later year block.

I bought the car brand new in '99. No engine work has ever been done to it except by me. I pm'd you the VIN anyway. Can you look up the info for me. Thanks! Where are the block id numbers?

Heh..actually it didn't go very far. SUPRYZE was kind enough to research my VIN and only came up with the several items I had fixed under warranty. Water leak in the hatch and the window motor replaced several times. Must be some oddball casting that was released before the production version.?.
