Ive been interested in the LS1 engine swap with 6SPD tranny, but then i realized that the LQ4 and LQ9 are 6.0L LS1 based engines, and want to throw one of those into my T/A, they are capable of more HP, and i ca pick them up about a thousand cheaper than an LS1, i want to know if anyone else has done this swap, and if anyone has any info on this, thanks.

Its the same as an LS1 swap.

thanks for your input, i appreciate it, also a few new questions brought into my mind, will the wiring harness and engine from a LQ4 or LQ9 be compatible with LS1 components, and 4th gen components such as, 4th gen dash and guages, LS1 supercharger, etc....

also, will all the bolt on dress up parts, such as the corvette fuel rail covers, the billet caps, and covers for misc parts, be capible of being used on a LQ4 or LQ9, thanks

you might have to ditch the lq9/lq4 style intake, and get an LS6 style, just for hood clearance reasons. that HUGE plenum on the trucks motors, probably won't fit under our hoods.

well i got the ram air hood on my car, and if you look under that hood, it adds about an extra 3 to 4 inches of cowl, bit i still dont know how much of a diffrence the intake is, thanks

I hear the truck intakes are far better then the LS1 or LS6 intakes.

KAOTIK415

do you know if they make any sort of an upgrade for the truck intakes, i know they have plenty of them for the LS1, but any for the LQ9, also i jus came up on a good deal for some fuel rail covers off of a C5, i think, butwill they fit on a LQ4 or LQ9. thanks
