Revival options: LQ 6-liter for F-body, yay or nay? Well after the untimley death of my LS1, I've got a few opportunities presenting themsevles, but the one that intruiges me the most is a low milleage '01 LQ4 I found through a vendor. The price is right and the motor is complete from top to bottom. Now my idea was to grab this motor, swap over a set of LS6 heads to bring the compression back up ~10:1, LS6 intake and a mild cam, finish it off with ARP rod bolts and a ported LS6 oil pump. I figure if the old motor made 356whp with bolt-ons, this one should hopefully be good for around 380+ depending on the cam.
So... what would YOU do if you were in my shoes? I don't see alot offolks talk about LQ's in F-bods, but it seems like a great opportunity to go 6-liter with a strong block and lots of potential. Yay.. or nay?

sure
iron block has a 60lb penalty i think, but no big deal unless you are a road racer or something.
can you use the LQ9 internals in your block and bore it over?
