Default All differences between LS1 and LS6

Does anyone have the real spec difference between the two motors. I am looking for engineering details down to the millimeter :chevy :chevy

The closest article I've seen is Hib Halverson's "Ruthless Pursuit of Power" series. The only "down to the millimeter" difference is really in the cam. The short blocks are now (supposedly) the same. The articles are here:

LS1:

'01 LS6:

'02 LS6 modifications:

Hope this helps!
:cheers:

Check out this post and then the article to see some of the technical details of the different blocks and how they are manufactured and tested.
