Regardless, after reading the last few days about valve spring issues on the LS6, are there any glaring issues with the LS3? Appears to be a pretty bullet proof engine, but if I look at this car, what should I be watching out for?
Thanks

Are you two talking about the same thing? The LS6 did have valve spring issues early in it's production. There are multiple threads covering it in the C5 section over there. The LS7 does have valve dropping issues as datawiz stated.
C5 Z06 = LS6
C6 Z06 = LS7 They also made a 427 vert which is LS7
