I know that it is hard too but just be patient. I have been looking for like 6 months. But yesterday I picked up a LQ9 80,000 + complete shortblock for $ 400.00.

you would need to drill the block for the lower alt bolt hole

IIRC the early 2005 LS2 were 24x then changed to 58x. Most will be 58x

Pairof69's, I am actually using the LQ9 as a replacement in an F-Body that currently has a 5.7 in it. If I understood you correctly you said that I would have to drill the lower ALT bolt hole,is that correct? Or is that hole in the correct location on the LQ9?

Yes you have to drill one . that will give 2 mounting points . You cant do anything with the one at 10' o'clock position.
