I'm hoping the pictures loaded. This is an LQ4 engine out of an 05' 2500HD.

Do these look like they are floating pistons/rods?

Thanks in advance.

 

Another pic.

 

Looks like it

 

Can anybody else confirm?

 

Yes they are.

 

Floating indeed.

 

Great!! Thats's one of the reasons I went with this engine. Now I'm hoping that it is the same length head bolts. I just picked up a set of ARP head bolts that are same length, but if they're not, I have a box of OEM 3 length sitting on the shelf.

My plans for this engine are 243 heads that have been milled .030", FAST 102mm Intake/TB, and a texas speed 222/226 .596/.605 112 Cam.

These parts were going to be originally for a 5.3 that I had at first, but I learned that the cam bearings were shot. Sucks because I had already purchased a set of Felpro MLS head gaskets for the 5.3.

 

05 should be same length head bolt size.

 

It will be unless it was a reman or some one has messed with it.

 

No, it's the original engine. I picked it up from a truck yard place for that same reason. I didn't want to buy an engine off the streets, and then it be a bad engine.

I've got the paperwork and everything for it.
