Default 02 LS1 & LS6 Stock Timing Chain

Does anyone have the part numbers for the original LS1 and LS6 timing chains? I know they are now superceded, but I am looking for the original part number. My parts list only goes to 2001. This is for a Vette, but I don't think that matters.

Thanks

I've got the #'s for the latest version if that helps. Can I ask why you want the old chain? It's not as heavy duty and thus is not made anymore. It's probably the same # as the chain that replaced it.

I am trying to figure out if GM used the same chain in both motors. They increased the spring pressures and I am wondering if they also updated the LS6 chain or just kept the same one as the LS1.
