LQ4/LQ9.....will it fit?
are the dimensions of the LQ4/LQ9 the same as the LS motors? will they fit into a foxbody mustang? if so, what transmission will i have to run? will they mate up to a T56 or will i need to run an auto? would there be hood clearance issues since they are truck/suv motors?
#3
is there a way to find out which vehicles or years of motors where that would be a concern?
if i understand it correctly the LQ4 came out 2000? and is an iron block and the LQ9 came out about the same time and is an escalade motor? am on the the right track?

are all truck 6.0L motors considered LQ4s or do i need to look for a specific vin code? also, is there a way to tell, either by a number on the block or a vin code, if a particlar motor will have the extended crank? will i alleviate the entire issue if i stay away from '99 motors and only look at motors from later years?

what i'm not sure of though, is that it looks like a number of the later model GM motors are a "fly-by-wire" setup. would those motors still me useable for an '87 mustang?
