Is this an LQ4 or an LQ9??
Ok so I thought I bought an LQ4...here is the original ebay link
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...9998%26fvi%3D1
The auction title says Avanlanche/Escalade, the description says 2005 Silverado.....
The paperwork that came with the engine says Escalade Vin N....
Looks like it's an LQ9, how can I be sure? If it is that would be sweet!!

Wouldn't the 6.0L Silverado 2500 engine have been bolted to a 4L80E? Which means it would have a flexplate with 6 bolt holes in it?
Which means that since mine only has 3 bolt holes, it would have come from something with a 4L60E or 4L65E, which means Silverado SS or Escalade, which means LQ9?

Just keep talking to yourself - I'll sit back and listen 
Not that I know, but there has to be something external to tell the two apart - the GM employees would get them confused if they didn't.

if you have the engine there take a spark plug out and put it at TDC on that cylinder and take a flash light and look in at the piston and see if its flat top or dished.
the passenger side engine cover resembles that of a SS
