From what is below- I have a '01 vert. Do I have a LS6? I thought I had a LS1. It says "All Corvettes now have the LS6 intake manifold and block"


2001
* Return to 28# injectors for all models.
* Second Generation Active Handling

* All Corvettes now have the LS6 intake manifold
* All Corvettes now have the LS6 engine block (windage passages in block), which includes a beefier oil pump.
* LS1 changes result in new output of 350 HP @ 5200 RPM and 375 Ft Lbs of torque @ 4400 RPM (MN6)
* Hardtop/FRC discontinued
* Stronger synchros in all transmissions
* Exhaust manifolds revised (5hp regained) - thin wall cast replacing SS manifolds
* Metal valve stem caps (late year)
* Torque Tube changed from metal-matrix composite to aluminum alloy 6061, increased in diameter from 55 to 63 mm.
* Driveshaft couplings have also been upgraded on manual-equipped models for additional strength and durability
* Introduction of the Z06, which has as differences:
* Hardtop body style
* Rear brake ducting
* Screened inlets on front fascia, without fog lights

* M12 transmission with shorter gearing (1-2-3 analogous to MN6 with 3.90 rear diff
* Titanium exhaust system
* Lightweight windshield
* New, stronger clutch with redesigned master + slave cylinder
* Stronger rear differential (shotpeened ring gear)
* Red brake calipers (otherwise identical)
* Transmission overtemp warning light on DIC
* 6500 redline gauges with special checkering + Z06 font
* Redesigned PCV system to help combat oil burning
* Red LS6 Fuel Rail Covers (FRC's)
* FE4 Z06 suspension - up rated springs, bars (30mm/23.6mm), shocks (note front spring and rear bar same as Z51)

 

Starting in 2001 all Corvette motors shared a common block and
intake manifold, in both cases the better units designed for the
LS6. But only the Z06 came with a full LS6 motor, all other cars
came with the LS1.

 

 

You have a LS1

 

and injectors. You do indeed have an LS1, however.

To the best of my knowledge the heads and cam are what really make the LS6 different from the LS1. While the intake manifold and block are different, the difference in minimal, from what I understand.

 

I can see how you were confused after reading that.

 

Reads (to me at least) that they are discussing differences about the 2000 to the 2001 and introducing the new ZO6 information all in the same write up.

I really didn't read that this is strictly a VERT they were discussing.

BTW, your VERT has the LS1 with an LS6 intake manifold on it.
