I just want to make sure I don't have issues with it bolting in my 98 Trans Am or working with my M6. I thought i read about some reluctor wheel or something like that or some kind of thing you need to put on the crank to make it work with the m6 because the crank was to long or too short. I can't remember but it was something like that, lol.

Does anyone have a clue what I am trying to describe?

I just want to know about any and all issues, pros and cons, etc about the LQ9's.

keep searching and reading about the LQ swap for the F-body's. Everything you need to about the swap has been covered on these forums.

 

Ive got a 408 that I will sell. I had it built and had it in one of my cars. Very strong and guaranteed to run great. It may be out of your price range thou. I would need $6500 for the complete long block with heads and cam. PM me if interested.

 

Thanks for the offer man, but that is waaaay out of my $$ range.

I spun a bearing in my 98 and just bought a brand new LS6 longblock for $3104 with shipping from http://www.sdparts.com/ and even sold the oil pan on it for another one fifty off....now I just need someone to install it because I cant get ahold of the the guy that was going to.

 

One of the guys are selling a LS9 block with Ls9 steel crank and a Ls7 steel 4.0 stroke crank turned .010 .010 which comes with 8 Ls7 rods.

What would it take to make these work in my Bird? Would it be any more expensive that building a 408?

*sigh* my condolences man. i just did the same thing yesterday.

forced upgrade time

 

I just saw a listing on craigslist for a wrecked 2000 silverado for $1000. You could even part some of the truck out to get some money back http://jacksonville.craigslist.org/s...min&maxAsk=max

 

Way to look out for a Bro! Thanks man, but I think I have it covered with a LQ9 with 12K on the clock
