LQ9 users, does the bottom end hold together well? Since I'm in need of a new motor aftr my 51k mile LS1 decided to spin a bearing, I've been kicking a few ideas around, but the most prominient right now is obtaining an LQ9 6L block and going quasi-LS2 with a set of LS6 heads and probably LS6 cam, my question is, how do the iron block LQ's handle the higher revs? Any notable problem swinging the stock LQ9 to say 6600rpm? My first investment would be a set of ARP rod bolts, but outside of that I'm hoping to stay relativley OEM.

Ive used several 6.0 shortblocks. I even have one in my car. Try to get a 01+, they have bigger rods, then put in some ARP bolts, and have fun. Weight is about 70lbs more than you 5.7 BTW
