Thanks to everyone who replied; some of my specific questions are (since some of the LS6 changes are also carried over to the LS1 engine such as the block, intake manifold, fuel injector size, etc) are for an 02 LS1:
1) Did the pistons from the LS6 carry over to the LS1?
2) Did the harmonic damper carry over to the LS1?
3) the LS6 MAF is 85 mm and no screens, what is the size of a LS1 MAF?
