Default GM Parts Gurus...

Wanting to know how muc LS6 Heads and the Hot Cam Cost, I ran a search on "LS6" at http://www.paceparts.com.

For the heads it returned the following...
PN 12560801
Gen III 2001 LS6 Cylinder Head, 63CC Combustion Chamber head with D-shaped exhaust ports.

$661/Each Bare

PN 12564825
2002 LS6 Cylinder Head: <<No Description>>

$614/Each Bare

If I want the LS6 heads that come on Z06 Vettes, which is it?

I believe the bare heads for 2001 and 2002 should be the same. But the assembled head would be different due to the differance in spring rate and the lighter-weight, sodium-filled valves.

Someone can correct me if i am wrong.

Pace is showing different part numbers and prices for the 01 and 02 LS6 heads. The 02 heads are less.

'01 & '02 LS6 heads are identical.......the only difference between the two are the springs and longer sodium/potassium filled valve stems.

Sorry, but, Why are there 2 part numbers for bare LS6 castings then? :confused:

I'm not talking about the valves and springs.

Probably due to the valve seats since the '02 has different springs, because past that everything else is identical.

FYI: http://www.gmpartsdirect.com has the '02 heads for $534.60 each and '01 heads for $620.78 each.
