Liking the build! I'm going almost the same route, but in an 88 GMC truck. What were your cam specs? Also did you consider upgrading to the Comp Cams Trunion bearings? Just a little insurance for a small price. Good luck with your build will be sweet when done!

One step forward two steps back! So I got the LQ4 fully put together and me and a buddy swapped it in a weekend. I spent about 30 minutes getting it to run and idle in the driveway. So me and my buddy took it for a test drive everything was good till I looked down at my gauges and and I went from 70psi of oil pressure to 10psi 
so I got her back home and changed the oil and it came out silver 
So the swap begins again! Pulled the LQ4 out got new head gaskets and oil pan gasket and put the heads cam and intake on the LS1 to go back into the car! 
I haven't looked far into the LQ4 yet but Numbers 3,7,and 8 rod bearings are Destroyed along with the crank journal... YAY!
LQ4 Swap
LS1 OUT!
My Buddy
LQ4 Going In

finishing final steps
LQ4 is back out again YAY!
LS1 back in and running!
