They're also using 'LS6' for the new corvette motor, or at least the intake on top of it. The intake runners are larger, LS6 vs LS1. Don't know all the other differences. I think that's it basically, so you would buy an LS1 crate motor and the LS6 intake, swap intakes and basically be there. Probably some cam and/or electronics differences as well. As mentioned above, this isn't really a GM site. As for the 5 or 6 speeds; shouldn't have too much difficulty finding one to bolt up behind a SBC, just make sure your kit allows for the added length of a OD trans. Too bad manufacturers reuse badges like this, just muddies the waters. I hear they're bringing back Galaxie 500's next (doubt a 7 liter will be an option though).
I was curious, so I found this site real quick...
