LQ9 vs. LQ4, BLOCK only
 

Hey guys,
Used search, came up with a lot of good information. Just want to make sure the LQ9 and the LQ4 are the same exact BLOCK. Not talking about the pistons, heads, or compression between the two. Just need a 6.0L Iron Block. Are these exactly the same when talking about just the block?
Thanks,
Matt

IIRC, yes. They are the same block.

IIRC? Not sure exactly what that means.

Thanks though. I was about 99% sure the block was exactly the same, just different pistons and heads when assembled...

IIRC= If I Remember Correctly

Ahh, thanks buddy. 99blancoSS, any chance you could find me a block?

We keep those blocks in stock

I'm looking for a used, block only version to save some $$$. What can you offer and how much? You can PM me if you don't want it on a thread.

Thanks

I'd Give SDPC a call and see what they can offer you.
I'll keep my eye out for a used block for you as well

Thanks again everyone. As of right now, I just found/bought a used LQ9 block. Should see it in 3-4 days. Heard that before, lol. Hopefully this one will not result in a refund. :(

Also, just got my cam spec's back from Pat G. He's suggesting a 234/240 .610/.623 (w/ my 1.8s). This seems like a great DD grind with plenty of power "under the curve." I'm getting excited again :D

how much did you pay (or pm)? just curious, have an LQ9 shortblock that I'm sizing up if my wallet can take the hit to convert a 73 Camaro. I'd like to know what I could ask for it if I decide not to go through with it.

They can be found for $350-450 I'd say. I had one for $500 shipped fall through the cracks because shipping was giving the seller problems. I just found another for $500 shipped within a few hours. Most of these seem to be coming from Cal, atleast the ones I have found, so shipping to S.FL is pricey.

cool - I don't feel too bad then for what I paid. What part of SFL are you? Guess maybe I shouldn't tell you that I'm in Miami Beach.

I'm in Boca now. Moved down from Jupiter about a year ago for my job. Miami, eh? Whole different country down there. Ever come back up to America occassionally?

LOL....i live in st.Lucie county currently (born and raised in Miami) and hell it is America up here compared to down there.


if it falls thru let me know i know someone selling a complete lq9 for not a whole lot more then what u getting the block for.

Thanks Grey...I think this one will be good. From a shop, not just a fellow tech'er. Plus, I don't need anything besides the block. Other stuff will just pile up in my garage, along with old camaro parts...not much room left for extras. lol

LOL that was pretty funny, my parents just visited and apparently they found out the building I live in the security and valets refer to me as the american.

Grey, what shape is the engine in? The heads are off of mine with the valves out and I figure I might just part this thing out instead.
