One very cool thing is that they actually have the LS6 "BLOCK" - you can check the number on your motor and you'll see it is the LS6!

Now just remember that the LS6 Block has a better/stronger metal and that you don't have the LS6 cam or heads it is still sonsidered the LS1 but it is the same as the Block as the LS6

Thanks,Matt

Cool. What about the internals, same or different?

Internals are the same as the LS6 with the exception of the cam, your '04 will have the stock lift and duration cam in it and have 10.0:1 compression (Not 10.5:1 like the Z06)

Cam Specs:
Corvette LS1
97-98 12554710 199/207 .472/.479 117
98-99 12560964 199/207 .472/.479 117
2000 12560968 198/209 .500/.500 115.5
01-04 12561721 198/207 .467/.479 116

Corvette LS6
2001 12560950 204/211 .525/.525 116 385hp
02-04 12565308 204/218 .555/.551 117.5 405hp

Thanks,Matt
