    LS6 heads?

    I've heard that LS6 head swaps are pretty common. I have an '01 T/A WS6 and my dad seems to believe that it has LS6 heads on it. I know for a fact that it does have an LS6 intake manifold but I have no idea about the heads. Is there any way to tell without removing them from the car? I'm in the process of pulling the engine out right now but I was just wondering if there was a way to tell while it's just sitting there.

    243=ls6 head
    241=ls1 head
    He might be confused, some of the 01,02 blocks were ls-6 but you don't see a power increase from that.

    yeah the LS1 has a circle, most know of it being called a bullseye, it is where the cylinder head meets the block on the passneger side on the front top, look around you will see what i mean. The LS6 block doesnt have this

    Oh, ok. Well I'll take a look at it tomorrow, lol. Thanks. I'm gonna go head and guess that it's an LS1 block though since it has LS1 heads.
