what would you build lq9 or lq4? (I have both) I have a LQ4 with 55k miles on it all stock out of a 2002 chevy truck.
today I just bought a LQ9/transmission/tcase with 3500 miles (yes 3500 miles) out of a 2002 escalade test vehicle. I got this engine complete with all the front acc stuff, wiring, computer, radiator, basically everything you need. I also got the hydroboost and thats going into my blown 67 camaro
now I got all these parts and am not sure what to do. I'd like to run the Lq9 since it only has 3500 miles on it and change the output shaft on the trans to a 2wd version (4l65e), but the original plan was to run the lq4 with a 76mm turbo since its got the lower compression....and thats why I'm leaning more towards the lq4...if I do run the lq4 i'm also going to use a 4l80e.
will all the wiring, computer, accessories, work on the lq4 off the lq9?
what would you guys put together with all these parts?

The LQ9 is going to be worth atleast $500 more than the LQ4 being its a 10:1 CR with flat top pistons opposed to 9.5:1 like the LQ4 plus it has fewer miles. You should be able to sell it on Ebay or here in the for sale section for around 1800 or so i would think.
