Default considering an fbody with an lq4 - questions inside

I am considering the purchase of an fbody with an lq4. There are no receipts - supposedly has 317 heads. #1 - what cubic inch is this supposed to be, and #2 is there a way to tell that it is in fact an lq4?

only way to tell if its a lq4 or a lq9 is pop a head. if its a dished piston then its lq4, if its flat top its lq9 also thats if its a bone stock motor. but both will say 6.0 on block either is good.

It's bigger and can take an LS3/L92 top end, so in that manner, yes. But, the LS1 is aluminum and can still go up to a 383. Just depends on what you're looking for.
