The biggest difference is the bore being 4.0 on the LS2,(6.0 liter) and 3.898 on the LS6. The block is said to have thicker casting around the cylinders, and generally a better base for a performance build. Other differences include intake manifold and knock sensor locations. I believe the heads are the same.

Yep, heads are the same.
The cams are diferent.
I believe all the other parts are interchangeable except:
Front cover
Valley cover
Timming set
Timming chain damper
