If I swap my ls1 block with a 6.0 iron block are all the dimensions still the same? Could I still use the c6 and or truck headers to do a diy turbo setup?

I would say yes-I am doing a C5 though-the one thing i've come across is the pass side engine mount would not bolt to the block without some grinding of the block-a square cast hunk in the way.

Yes, might be some bolt hole differances for the assessories though.

Yah I know you have to drill and tap one hole for the alternator, no biggie. I was just wondering because I want to buy an lq9 block and get it machined and put all the forged internals in before I even pull my motor. So I want to design my turbo setup on my ls1 then pull it and put in my lq9

Sounds like a plan. Only differance is the the bore size 4.0 instead of 3.90 physically they are the same size so you have nothing to worry about.

yah, thats my plan then. time to hit up graigslist and some local forums to try and find me an lq9 or lq4 block!
