6.0 lq4 in a 1998 SS camaro Ok, so I know there are lots of threads about putting an lq4 or lq9 into an f-body, but I still haven't found one that answers all my questions.
I have heard that a 99-00 lq4 block will NOT bolt up to a t-56, is this correct?
Do you just use the ls1 wiring harness and ecu?
I have heard the 99-00 have iron heads, are they still 317's? Any downfall to them being iron?
Thanks..

- not sure about the t-56
- yes, just reuse your ls1 wiring harness
- 317's are aluminum, so no. Iron (fe) is heavier, not as smooth, so I would just find a cheap set of used heads on here. You can get a set of used 317's for ~$200

With the longer end on the crank I don't think it will bolt up. Here's a thread I found you might be able to find a little more info. Depends on if the end is machined or has a spacer.

How hard is it to swap cranks? lol, I have never done any internal motor work but I have done pretty much everything on the outside.. so this is pretty new to me..

On my LQ4 two of the alternator mounting points were not there. For one, the boss was on the block but had to be drilled and tapped. For the other, there was no boss and it would have had to go into the water jacket, so I was not able to use that bolt. The two bolts in the front and one on the side is plenty IMO.

Lingenfelter sells an electronic plug and play module to convert 58x reluctor signal to 24xfor around 250 bucks. Search it out this way you wont have to drop the crank. Some guys compain that when they get hot they go screwy so keep that in mind if you go that route to isolate it from heat as best you can and maybe wrap the sucker with good high heat reflective insl
