With the LS6 intake you cannot use the L92 heads - they are a rectangular port head and the LS6 is for cathedral ports. I have an LQ4 shortblock and am using LS3 (L92) heads with a stock LS3 intake.

I know you cant use the LS6 intake for the LS3 heads, what kind of cam are you using, do you have any power numbers, auto or stick?

I'll be dropping my engine in sometime this spring. It'll be an LQ4 bottom end, 243 heads, LS2 intake, Fast 90 with a TSP 228R cam, 4L80E going into a second gen Camaro.

I just have the engine and tranny sitting in the garage with the car covered for the winter. I just got done rerouting the wiring harness where I want it to go. Where in Rochester are you at?

actually in Kendall, had a LS1 /4L6oE in the car, but did not finnish it, then decided to go with more torque and got a 2007 LQ4/4L80E for $1450 with everything. Just sold the LS1 today at least I have a deposit

I'm over in Irondequoit about 30 ninutes from you in Kendall. This will be my first LSx swap into the car, I've had it for about 14 years. I need to get that damn thing painted one of these days the laquer is cracking and spidering from sitting so damn long.


That wouldn't have been you selling the engine and tranny on Craigslist was it?
