I need help LQ9/LS3 build
im building up a 1967 Nova and wanting to do an LS motor swap. I have accumulated some parts for my build but need help specing what works with what. Here's what I have so far....
1. LQ9 stock block
2. LS3 heads ( pocket ported )
3. LS3 stock intake, injectors and fuel rail.
I am wanting a hot little street motor but not too big to where I can drive the car on cruises. I want a/c and a stall around 2800. Here is what I need specs for ....
1. Cam size - LQ9's have flat top pistons. What is maximum lift before I have to change out the pistons. If I need to change pistons what do in need and what is the best brand for price ?
2. I want to run stock LS3 injectors which I think are 42lbs. What is the max cam before I have to change injectors.
3. OK if you had what I have, what would you do ?
Thanks
