Default Lq4/lq9

What all is involved with putting an LQ4 or LQ9 into my Chevelle? I understand it's a variation of the aluminum block LS motors, but was curious about if there are more quirks/issues to deal with when installing one of these in a car? What about tuning, are they far off from LS engines? My buddy has all the tuning software and uses it for his LS2 engine in his Chevelle (might be able to have him tune my car if I go with an LQ engine, not sure though).

Any other things I need to keep in mind when considering this swap? Oh, I would be keeping this n/a and possibly supercharging or putting a turbo on it down the line (when I free up more $$).
