Default Did I score a LQ9

So I just bought off craigslist a Vortec motor. The guy listed it as a Vortec motor, he was going to use it in his GM pickup but found out it wouldnt fit. I just happened to troll Cl and found it. Its a 2005 Silverado LQ9, with the electronic TB. It looks low mileage.. I got the whole long block.. everything complete $700 bucks.. Im ordering my L92 heads and cam package from TSP next week

Ive got an LQ9 with CNC L92 heads and a FAST 102mm LSXR. Its a riot!!! Just keep the cam on the smaller side. I was going 40mph or so on my way home from work and punched it and went sideways on me.

My cam is 219/235 .607/.621 113+5 Comp LSR Cam

Awesome deal.
Going a similar direction with an LQ4, L92, an Eagle 4" stroke, manley 4.005 flat tops... but without all goodies of the long block. The bits and pieces are eating me up...
I'm jealous!!!
