LQ4 Swap
LQ4 Swap I need to replace my short block and get my car up and running asap. I located an LQ4 short block in town from an ls1tech member. It's got ~90k miles and he's asking $500, does that sound about right? Money is tight so I am trying to do this w/o spending too much.
I have done some searching and found most answers I had. What I am wondering now is should I use my existing 806 heads or buy the LQ4 heads ($150). Also will my rockers, lifters, MS3 cam, pushrods work in the LQ4? How much of a power increase can I expect assuming the only thing changing is the block and heads if they make a difference?
Thanks!

So it sounds like with the same tune I'd probably make about the same power right? More displacement, less compression.
Now what about the heads, LS1 flow rates vs LQ4?
