Lq4? Ls2? Ls6? Spun a bearing in my 1999 WS6 M6.
It is all stock. I have 28lb injectors, ported TB and LS6 intake
I was wondering...
If i could round up a LQ4....
Could i rebuild that and make a 402 or 408?
I was considering using my stock 243 heads instead of the 317s?
Forge it for roughly $2K
Maybe heads/cam package $2k
And ill be looking at a cast iron 6.0L instead of an aluminum ls1
Or maybe a 6.0L aluminum Ls2?
IMO i prefer the ls6...but they are impossible to find for a decent price.
Crateenginedepot and SDPC are sold out of LS6.... Thoughts?

my recommendation. pick up a bare lq4 or lq9 block. which you can usually get for under 400 bucks.
shoot a call over to john at TSP. they hooked me up with their rotating assembly package for my 408. costs about $2300 (thats callies crank/rods/wiseco pistons/rings) a machine shop will run roughly 1200 to machine everything and install.
after that its a matter of choosing your head and cam package. and of course intake. or you can just buy one of TSP's longblocks also. they are reasonably priced.
