So here's the deal. I can get a brand new 421ci 6.0L LQ9 Iron Block. The Xtra weight doesn't concern me too much. But I have in my 02Z a pretty aggresive cam, PRC ported heads, chromoly push rods, YT Lite lifters, 37lbs injectors...etc

All bolt-ons like LT headers, FAST 90/90, Vette MAF..etc

So which of my goodies WON'T transfer to the LQ9?

What about the accessories? Oil and water pumps, alternator..etc? What mods while I need to do to get the LQ to fit and work properly?

And will the Magna SuperCharger fit this LQ like it does the LS1 (aside from some cowl/hood trimming)?

I already have a Monster brand clutch good to over 800rwtq and a S60 rear end. My goal is to be around 675 to 700rwhp and around the same in torque.

Or should I just forget the LQ all together and put a stroker kit in my LS so it can handle the supercharger?

Thanks in advance

100% Everything transfers over from your LS1 block....
you may need to tap the block for the Alternator and bracket...
no big deal, lots of write ups online for it...

Just make sure the crank in that block has the same reluctor wheel...24x or 58x

Like he said. The reluctor wheel and bottom bolt for the alternator bracket is the only things to look at. I drilled and taped my bolt for the alternator with the engine in the car. It's no big deal.
All gen 3 are the same externally. Use your sensors from your 5.7 so they plug in to your harness
