blocks are the same as well as crank, rods, bore, stroke etc. only difference I know of is the lq4 has a dish piston to keep compression down, where the lq9 has a true flat top piston. someone please correct me if i'm wrong.

you might want to check in the nitrous forum to see about the durability of the lq4 stock pistons on the juice. i don't run nitrous so i don't know how well the pistons would hold up.
