I've asked in this the past with no response. Hopefully someone knows now. I would like to know also.

I htink the problem is that there are several. Ive personally seen 4 different casting #s on 4 different LS6 heads. Perhaps a list could be made, but thats far more difficult than finding one number.

799 is one of them. I work on the patterns so I know for sure! I'm a GM patternmaker and work at Saginaw Metal Casting Operations. Hope this helps!
Also, I heard 242 may be one also. Good Luck!
