So, I've been collecting some workshop books on the Gen III/IV V8's, and I'm still learning, coming from the world of Swedish turbo cars (Saab -- made in Trollhattan, Sweden, so Goats and Trolls. There's a theme there somewhere!).
LS1/LS6 I'm gathering are Gen III, but what makes the LS2 Gen IV -- what differences are there -- what makes an LS2 an LS2, and what makes an LS1 an LS1?
I suspect that the LS6 was iron block 6 liter only, whereas the LS2 is simply the LS6 with an aluminum block? Or am I way off base here?
Thanks, guys.

Saabs (Trolls) are fun, but in this case, Goats eat them, not like the fairytale!
