Is there a 6.0 LS2 GMC Envoy available? What about a 2WD Trail Blazer SS? I have a couple questions about some of the LSX powered SUV's out there.
Is there a 2WD version of the Trail Blazer SS out there? I've looked at a couple and all have been full time AWD so far.
I have yet to see a 6.0 GMC Envoy. Is there such a car out there, or did you have to stick with the Trail Blazer to get the 6.0?
From a modding stand point, how superior is the 6.0 platform to the 5.3?

They did not make a 6.0 Envoy, but they did make a Saab 9-7x (Aero package) with the 6.0.
Performance wise, the 6.0 is superior for obvious reasons. They are the same type/family of engine, so clearly the larger size means more power. Mod for mod, that power margin is just going to get bigger. The 5.3 is a very capable engine though, so I wouldn't rule it out completely. To answer your question though, the 6.0 is superior.

the 6.0 is "superior" but you are not going to notice much of a difference unless you are getting into some serious modifications. .7 liters is not a big difference at all. That being said the LS2 6.0 in the SS has a lot of performance additions from the factory versus a typical factory LM7 5.3 that make it a far better power plant in stock form.

7.8's in my old '06 Envoy Denali with the 5.3L LH6 LS1 Cheatr cam and 150 shot of nitrous, 8.1's in my Saab 9-7x Aero stock with just intake, stall, and a tune.
