Ok so for what ever reason my ls1 decided it wanted a new window and apparently the pistons tried to escape out this window. Now I think it seems as though its cheaper to go the lq4 short block route. Does any one know(assuming the heads are still good) if cartek stage 3 ported heads would work with this set up? Also what else would I need to do in order to run this set up? Thanks alot and sorry for the newbish question.

 

To know for sure sure call them at 908.317.4496

 

Yea Im going to give them a call tomorrow morning. Trying to figure out the best plan of attack with out breaking the bank

 

What would be the best 6.0 block to go with? The lq4 or lq9?

 

Will all the accessories bolt right up?

 

yep you just have to tap one hole in the block for the alternator bracket, but it will all bolt up.

 

There is probably a thread that shows what needs to be tapped correct?

 

Think I am going to build it for boost. A 6.0 would be the best block for a f.i car correct?

 

A lot of guys just use two bolts and get by fine. IIRC there is a boss on the block where it goes though.

For boost an LQ4 would be best because the pistons are dished to drop compression... If you are going to build it get whatever is cheapest because the blocks are the same... but LQ4's are usually cheaper..

 

Thanks Im gonna look around now for some blocks

 

Schwanke engines is selling 5.7 short blocks for $1500 in the group buy section.

 

Think we may do the lq4 and throw some boost at it
