Default fittment issues? lq4 to 4l60e?

Ive read mixed reviews on the subject some say it fits no problem and some say the crank is too long and needs a smaller converter i am going to put a lq4 into a 2000 camaro z28 a4 will i run into any problems i already know that i need the ls1 intake manifold, oil pan and acc. will i have any problems with the trans lining up? should i get an aftermarket tq. converter will that fix the problem? or can i take the flywheel off the ls1 and use that? any clarity appreciated

The 6.0L LQ$ from a 1999-2000 Truck has a longer crank, so you may have issues. If the LQ4 is from a 2001 (identified by aluminum 317 heads) then it will bolt right in, just swap the flexplate over from your car, as some LQ4 were backed by the 4L80E which used a different flexplate. This is what I did when I installed my 2003 LQ4 in my 2001 SS.

yeah what george said, my 2005 lq4 had a spacer between the crank and flywheel i had to take out. it was obvious when i seen my bolts where too short to bolt my flywheel on that i had to take the spacer off. haha

What year is the Engine that you have? Look on back of the Crank and see how far past the Cover it sticks out..
