Ive been trying to find a deal on a lq4 for awhile now and finally found one... found it on craigslist for 600 bucks so i went and picked it up yesterday... paid 440 bucks and gave him a set of gently used rims and tires that i got for free so im going to say that it was the steal of the century. This will be the first of many parts to this build thread

 

what are you building

 

i will be building my 2002 blazer xtreme

 

i am going to be selling parts off my lq4 because i am going to be putting ls3 heads and intake on it and boring the block .030 over and my question is does anyone know of pistons that will work without flycutting? im looking to get about 10.5:1 compression.... planning on using the stock crank with compstar rods

 

if youre gonna bore, just get you some minimal dish aftermarket pistons with valve reliefs already to avoid any ptv issues, mill heads .030 and youll be set. stock rods will do unless youre set on spending big bucks.

if you need an l92 truck intake, i got one with fuel rails and injectors and might even have a tb to go with it. outflows ls3 intake easily and it is like new. if interested, pm me or call/text me...rob (956) 802-7700

 

Congrats on that steal. That truck is going to haul some serious !

 

Thanks... i got pretty luck on that find... the guy had like 6 calls from people right before i picked it up... going to be a tire shredder for sure

 

anyone have helpfull pointers on getting the crank pulley off???
already broke a tab on the crank pulley and bent my 3 jaw puller....

 

fought mine for 2 hours with a 2 jaw. would have gave a left nut for a 3 jaw that night

 

My 3 jaw was a pos and didnt want to work so i destoyed it and threw it away haha.... i found a nice heavy duty OTC one at work that im going to give it a try
