I'm getting ready to do an engine swap on my 00 WS6. I have a built LQ9 going in and have a few questions about some short term solutions..

First I really need to swap the motor this weekend. Its at my work and they need the space back, lol... I plan on doing intake, CAI, fuel rail, injectors, fuel pump etc, but the parts simply are not in right now..

So here is where I am. The only performance parts I currently have are, new motor mounts and the engine its self. So for now can I use my old LS1 intake, coils, and fuel rail etc.? i just want to be able to putt the car around the parking lot until the other parts arrive and I can take it to a tuner..

Can i even start the car with stock tune???

The new engine specs in a nut shell are
LQ9 6.0 BLOCK
LS3 FLAT TOP PISTONS 10.7:1 COMPRESSION
3.622 STROKE 24X CRANKSHAFT
TRICK FLOW HYD ROLLER CAM 238 242 AT 50 .595 LIFT 112 LS
317 ALUMINUM HEADS WITH TRICK FLOW SPRINGS TO MATCH CAMSHAFT

I know and agree this is NOT the best way to do a swap, but its all I can do for now.

Also motor is brand new. my next search is for initial start up procedures with a brand new engine unless someone can provide a link

I most definetly would not start the car without a tune specified for the new setup. Even if it is something a reputable tuner can flash off what he would think is safe to start and putt around.

I agree, get a base tune before starting

I have a similar build going on. Interested to see how you make out. Good luck !
