Yeah that's a LS1 block.
I have taken off dozens of sets of them with a hammered on socket and impact and never had an issue with it.....if the lug nuts stuck on there hard enough to round off the sides with a socket that's too small for it to start with (which I think is actually impossible the way I am talking about doing it) then you WILL twist the stud off before you round off the sides of the lug nut.
