I believe it is a iron block I'll confirm in morning, I'll sell the trans for $300 but i think it will only work on 4x4 and AWD trucks bc it's real short for transfer case to bolt to. I believe it's a 4l80e but it's real short. Would be a good deal for someone looking for a 6.0 bc it's complete and u could sell the tranny and get most ur money back.
lq4's did have iron heads around 99. Ive always wondered how they would hold up to as a boosted head since the oem aluminum heads flex above 800whp.

The trans that is hooked to this 6.0 out of the AWD Denali is real short bc it's made for a transfer case so it won't work in nothing but 4x4 and AWD trucks right? I'm assuming u couldn't put it in a Fbody right?
its still a 4l60e, just needs the correct tailshaft and maybe the output shaft. same everythign else though.

80's really only came in special vehicles like 2500-3500's and diesels. Also in bigger work utilities, but not much in the normal day to day vehicles.
I wonder what yr that guys 6.0 is? i can verify that it isnt. Like below is a 04 and the only availible transmissions were a 60/65e.

It does say 4l60e on housing I just confirmed it. The motor and trans is out of a 02 Denali XL AWD. I ran the casting numbers on block and it came back as lq4 and lq9. So there's no way u can tell the difference unless u pull the head to see pistons? What keeps somebody from selling u a lq4 and telling u it's a lq9? I bet there's a lot of people out there that think they have lq9s but really have lq4s.

If it's a 4L60E, I won't need to swing by Saturday to look at it. I already have one of those!
Thanks!!!

Ok thanks blingole, Its been posted for sale and I'm getting a lot of responses should be sold very soon. I'll post them block numbers tomorrow. What keeps someone from selling u a lq4 as a lq9 if the casting numbers are the same? Just wondering so I'll know if I ever buy a lq9?

Anyways about it the only difference between lq4 and lq9 is a lq4 has a 5cc dish piston. Not much of a difference really.
Now the 04+ lq series engines has updated rods which has been proven to hold well above 750whp. Yet the earlier rods where around 550whp. Also some of the early 6.0s had a different crank, the area where the flywheel/flexplate bolt on was deeper then others.
