Engine question
Hello,
I have a 2007 2wd Chevy crew cab truck. The motor in the truck is a 6.0 liter Vortec MAX. I know that this motor is not necessarily a LS motor but it may be an earlier version of it. Anyway my question is what motor is it or how can I go about confirming which motor it is? Most of these trucks came with a cast iron block 6.0 L. Mine is an all aluminum 6.0L. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kim

Right from the wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General...l-block_engine
L76
The L76 is derived from the LS2. And like the LS2 it features an aluminum engine block. However, the L76 does feature Active fuel management (AFM). While the displacement on demand technology was disabled on Holdens, this feature is enabled on the 2008 Pontiac G8 GT and subsequently refitted in the 2009 model Holdens with AFM enabled, but only on models fitted with the 6L80 Automatic Transmission. The engine also meets Euro III emissions requirements. Output is 348 bhp (260 kW) at 5600 rpm and 376 lb·ft (510 N·m) at 4400 rpm for the Holden variant, and 361 bhp (269 kW) and 385 lb·ft (522 N·m) for the G8 GT.[11] The Vortec 6000 or new VortecMax version is based on the Holden L76 engine, and features variable cam phasing, along with Active Fuel Management. It can be considered the replacement for the Generation III LQ9 engine. It produces 367 hp (274 kW) at 5400 rpm and 375 lb·ft (508 N·m) at 4400 rpm. Production of the Vortec 6000 started in late 2006, and is only available with the new body style Silverado and Sierra. The final year for the option of the VortecMax engine was 2009 in the Silverado and Sierra. vin code (Y)
