So I went up to phoenix today to help a friend move and look for a 5.3 short/long block and found myself a new engine for Mia.

05 iron block has 25,000 on the clock



dished pistons, it's not a 4.8!!


and all the cylinders look good this time!


had some help with the build today,


but the block doesn't say 5.3 for some reason...


should have all the help i want from now on, the sad part is everyone who wants to help is learning too. so I have a ton of people and no expertise.

got it for a hell of a deal!

What sweet deal man is it an lq4 or lq9, either way that is gong to scream!!

uhh, I dont know, its out of an 05 h2. and it will be getting everything I had waiting to put on my other engine. so it will be the same as a cammed ls2 with an iron block. might want to upgrade the cam, but I dont know...

looks like a lq4, doesnt matter since its an 05 they are very similar, except the price, lq4 has dished pistons, lq9's are flat. both are very stout motors

Nice find on the engine! Nice build. That a 6.0L LQ4.

i guess its a lq4, I didn't know the differance between them, I just know it was a 6.0 long block with low miles in great condition for $500. well $500 plus a trip to phx wich is 5 houres and alot of gas.

anyone know what the compression will be with ls6 heads. they are stock 64cc combustion chamber.

now I need to upgrade my intake and fuel system, but I already had plans that should still work with the 6.0

I believe it's going to be 10.2:1. I have a post on different heads on an LQ4 in the internal mods section. Check it out, lots of good info there.
