ALL 01 + LS1's came with an LS6 intake, all the way through the 04' GTO's. You have about a 15% chance of having an LS6 block on an 01' and a 25% on an 02', the power gains (from the LS6 block)? None, its all in the heads and LS6 cam, although the LS6 block is suppose to get more oil to places.

I Think Trust Is Pointing You In The Right Way. And It Is All In The Heads And Cam . All Ls1 In 01,02,03 Came With Ls6 Intake. As To The Block The Camaro May Have Had A Couple Out There , But On The T/a I Don't Think They Came Out With The Ls6 Block.

The 01+ engines have the 6.0L cam which doesn't require the EGR. So to make it cheaper GM installed LS6 intakes on all LS1 engines.

Here's the scoop on finding out if you have an LS6 block. (aside from the impossible to read part # on the back)
Right below the throttle body on the block you will see a "bullseye".
If it looks like 2 or 3 rings and looks like a bullseye, you have the LS1 block.
If that same area is filled in and you see an outline of a circle, but no circles inside the circle.. you have an LS6 block. Plus the LS6 aluminum is not as shiny as the LS1 version.
I have an LS1 block... oh well. ~Joshua

What sort of benefits if any does having an LS6 block over an LS1 block?

Slightly more reinforcement in the webbing, and the alloy is slightly stronger than the LS1 alloy.
Performance gain compaired to a 600hp motor using an LS1 block...ZERO.
