i found an lq9, complete out of a escalade, so its the high output. i can get it for 1k, and i was thinking of making it a stroker, roller rockers, cam, intake manifold, ported/polished heads, longtubes, then straight pipes. but idk yet the engine is still pretty far away. luckily, im going to school for auto repair so i can do all the labor myself.
i might just buy a junkyard ls1/ls2 and build that up. idk..

yes, that is correct.. that is a very good block to go with.. cheap/reliable..
i know a buddy who can get complete drop outs with under 40-50k miles and a 6 month warranty for like 1200$ or something like that..
you were talking about stroking it.. so instead of that you could do what i said..
heads/springs 950
pushrods 80
timing chain and oil pump 150
cam 250
dyno tune 300
ls6 intake 300
LTs/ypipe and cutout and extensions 350
gears 250
fuel pump 100
nitrous kit any where from 250-600
rough estimates real quick for you.. used prices.. might have left a thing or two out..

yea, my friend from ricekiller can get them for 1200, he works at a dealership.
so, about $3000 into the engine? thats not too bad
what would you recommend for a trans? id like a 6spd manual. just a stock one out of a trans am/camaro?

i would recommend not getting a six speed..
if you absolutely HAVE to have a six speed.. you need a clutch, ls6 at minimum.. but thats not going to last long.. shift forks.. etc.. i dont know a lot about t56s so im not going to say much on it.. you can get a4s for dirt cheap and they hold out pretty good at decent power levels.. plus they are faster.

this is gunna be a weekend car when finished, not some track car. my goal is to have it to where i can take it out on the weekends, and cruise, and kill the majority of lightly modded cars i run across, or give some good runs. my group drives gt's srt4's camaros and T/A's just wanna be able to hang with them.
im not really worried about the clutch, because i wont be stepping on it alot. i mean, not full throttle, double shifting type of stuff. it might see one or two track runs, just to see what it can do

if your not looking for the fastest thing on the road then i would not buy expensive heads.. some stock ls6 heads or if you really want to go cheap some stock 02 ls1 heads will do the job..

one track run with that setup on a stock t56 would probably demolish the trans..

what kinda shot could this handle? 100 for daily driving?

well, doesnt really matter what size shot you run because you just use nitrous when you want..
you could "safely" run a 175 shot.. 200 is the limit on a stock bottom, but many people have ran many passes on this size..
a 100 shot would be a very conservative shot..
running around town i would use a 75 shot.. if i knew i was probably going to race or i was looking for some fun i would swap in the 150..

i checked, and its got a shifter setup for a powerglide trans. should i just go with this, would it be better then a 6spd?

Lemons, I agree about the clutch, shift forks, keys, and other weaknesses of the T-56, but if shifted easy with a good clutch it'll still last longer than the 4L60E. that trans is crap. course if he was to put a 4L80E, thats a different story...
