Yes, there are no physical differences of the motors externally nor the engine compartment. The LS6 just has more ponies to start.

Is that really the case? I have never actually looked, but I thought you could bolt LS6 heads right on to an LS1. I know a ton of the '04 GTO guys were running LS6 heads.

And aren't the air pump valves different from '97 to '99, 2000, and '01 to '04? That might require some consideration and modification...

Reason why im asking is for 500 bucks on ebay you can buy a turbo kit for ls1 that consists of headers and all the piping to run single turbo set up. I would still need to purchase a turbo, wastegate, I/C and piping, but for 500 bucks for the hot parts, its not bad.

Want a link?

Other than the World, ERL, and LSX all LS type stock GM block and heads are 4 bolt.



No that kit will not work for a Corvette.
