6.2L DI engine in Silverado

There is a 6.2L DI aluminum block engine with AFM in the Silverado.
420 hp and 460 ft-lb torque.

It is called the EcoTech3. Is this the same engine as the LT-1 in the Stingray?
Other than obvious exhaust plumbing, what would the difference be?
Heads?
I just sold a 72 LT-1 which has tags "LT ONE". I was wondering if it would be incorrect to use the tags on the 6.2L Silverado. (Don't want the PC Police to come get me)
Any help?

I think I may have found it. It's called the L86 in the Silverado.

As you found, it is the L86. It is related as they are both Gen V V8s, but they have differences based on their intended applications.

Yup it's the same engine other than the intake, oil pan and accessory drive.

From what I see on Chevy's site, it is still not available in a RCSB

Otherwise I'd be on my way to order a new truck!

That is what I was going to do...then I got a chance to get the c7 early. I told a friend that I wanted the 6.2 di engine and it happened to come first in a vette instead of the pickup.
