LS3 vs Vortec 6200

The vortec 6200 is a 6.2l engine in silverados, tahoes, escalades etc. It make 403 hp and 417 hp. Is this just a detuned ls3?

I asked this question before..... the L92 is an iron-block designed for truck duty. Our aluminum LS3's and L99's weigh significantly less. For 2010 they also have AFM.

the only difference i could find was that the ls3 springs and valves are lighter and a little higher compression and no vvt. They both have aluminum blocks. There had to be more stuff different but I cant find anything.
