Advantages of the LS6 block over the LS1? And likewise?

In 2001 MY, 10% of Z28s had LS6 blocks instead of LS1's.
In 2002 MY, 25% of Z28s had the LS6 block.

Thats the stat I've been told... I was wondering what the advantage of having this block over the LS1 is? And likewise? I'm assuming the LS6 has a little more potential. What equipment came w/ the LS6 on Z28s that differed from the LS1's??

Any responses are very appreciated. Thanks

LS6 block has larger windows btw the cylinders.. This allows for an easier stroke which some may argue will allow for a hint of more power..
I have an LS6 block in mine from the factory.

As pyscho said, larger windows which allow for better bay to bay breathing but I think that's pretty much it. I do have an LS6 block and I guess it's cool to be able to say that but I really don't think anyone cares.

It's only the block that's different, the engine is still an LS1, all '01 and '02 have the LS6 intake, the exhaust manifolds are the same.
