Question LS1 to LQ4 help

Ok I plan on going from ls1 to an lq4, hopefully a 408 and planning on boosting through a d1sc procharger. Are any of the parts interchangeable from the ls1 to the lq4 such as ac compressor or any accessories? Also what heads should I go with on the lq4 block seeing as how I dont want the truck intake?

Every thing is interchangeable. Only difference is the bore size and the lq is iron block

Just need to drill the hole in the mounting boss on the driver's side of the block for the alternator mount. You also need to use your oil pressure switch from the ls1.

Yes. Trucks use 3-wire switches, F-Body uses a 1-wire.
