Sure is. You won't have any cylinder bore left. LS6 is like the LS1, 3.898 bore stock. Max you would want to go is .010" over.
You could .030" bore a 6.0 L truck block giving you a size of 4.030". But if you go with an iron block you'd add weight and need to locate the alternator up top with a alt relocation bracket.

I've never been a fan of recommending that someone drill into the block for that third hole. I kind of like having the alt up top away from the elements.
