About to finish a LQ4 swap a few final questions I need to swap manifolds while both motors are out my concern is the oil pressure sender will I use the LS1's?
what front gaskets will we need to get?
I also need intake manifold gasket part number(I looked on alot of sponsors site couldn't find it)
will I be able to drive the LQ4 on the tune my friend has for his old LS1 motor?
also what will everyone want to guess as dyno numbers?
Thanks in advance everyone sorry this has been a long swap and my car is after this one and I am kinda in a rush to get it done

Oil pressure sensor im not sure about, but dont see a reason why the LS1 wouldnt work as long as it screws into the block ok.
What front gaskets? The front cover gasket? Stock replacement.
Same goes for the intake manifold gaskets.
The tune should work.

yes use the ls1 sending unit it is different from the truck one.
tune should work pending on what is done to each motor but I wouldn't drive it around like that...use it for start up and warm up the first time or two then get to tuning.

the only problem is my tuner is at the LSX shootout how long can I drive the car with the tune?
I am the one bringing it back to MY house when we are done because I know my friend will punch it and **** something up but I am just worrying about how long I can run it on the same tune. will the compuuter readjust a little

I know when I put the new heads/cam on my lq4 the tune will be way way off.

I have seen midly tuned LS1s swap to a H/C LQ4 and drive it for hundreds of miles. They don't drive great and gas mileage will prolly suck but you can get by. Just drive easy. Use the LS OP sending unit.
