Compression difference was do the the 64cc 243 heads rather than the 67cc 241/853/806 heads

There were a few slight differences. The two largest being alloy type and a slight shape difference. Both changes were made to the LS6 piston to allow greater high RPM durability.

With that being said, there would be no problem in stuffing LS1 pistons into an LS6 or vice versa.

LS1s are internally balanced i would think the LS6 crank would be balanced different than the LS1 crank. Right?
