Ahhh, but they're not really LS1's. The LS1 is "specifically" the 5.7L. The 4.8 / 5.3 / 6.0 are similar designs, but the LS1 & LS6 are the only aluminum 5.7L engines.

Either the 5.3 the 6.0 or both are the same block as the 5.7 i forget which (or if it's both) just different stroke.

Small Edit:
The 5.3L that comes optional in the 7passenger Trailblazer/Envoy/Bravada is aluminum.
The truck 5.3L's are still iron........
