Why are you putting a truck motor in your V? Just curious

Bio248

your LS2 isn't a truck motor?

Either way it's an LS6 beater

I'm in the process of an LQ4 swap from my LS6 right now. I'll post some pics up of my newly fabbed motor mount plates when finished. Crossing my fingers on the fitment, they should work just fine though.

everything is the same except drilling an accessory hole for the alt bracket if these cars use the same holes as an f body

I thought the 5.3L was the engine to use? Isn't that what everyone is TT'ing?

no moa

I guess if you consider the SSR and Trailblazer SS to be trucks.

I was just curious as to why someone would go with the LQ4. Is it because they are plentyfull? I'm not being a downer about it, i'm just trying to learn.

they're cheap and hold boost really well.

Im using a built LQ4 in mine, LS6 Block had a nice crack in it

runsfromdacops

My old motor was a bored/stroked iron 5.3 the new motor is a iron 6.0

I'll have to look but I don't think I have any pictures of my mounts I built unless there's some in my build thread on CF

Same here, LS6 block cracked all to ****. The iron block is much stouter.

I forgot to snap some pics yesterday. I'll get some tonight after I spray the new plates.

After looking at the pics, looks like I mocked up the drivers side mount to the passenger side of the block but you get the point.

Nice u think u can make another one for me

Vemon

I actually didn't make these, a guy from the tool room at my work did them for me. He spent the better part of a week getting all the measurements and alignment right. I'm still worried its going to be very tight clearancing in some areas, and I may only be able to attach with 3 bolts per plate. Keeping my fingers crossed.

If I were you I would explore the GTO or truck mounts to see if they can be fabbed/morphed to accept the V mounting location. I wish I would have looked into that route beforehand just to give me 2 options. Let me know what you find out.
