Did you have to flycut the LQ4 pistons? I know the center of these pistons are dished but the edges come pretty close to the valves. My L92's are milled .030".
I cant find any LQ9s that cheap on ebay, even from LKQ. Seems like the LQ4's are going for $1000+ with 70k - 180k miles.

the ly6 is like a newer version of the lq9. has a cast iron block. l92 aluminum heads. 9.6:1 compression. i was told the l92 heads flow better than ported 243s. With the right cam, these l92s are supposed to make greaT power but it can be a little harder to pick put the right cam that suits them. If u already have ported 243s, i would probably consider keeping them since u can re use your intake,rails,injectors,tb,etc. most of these items would have to be changed if u are going the l92 ROUTE.
